Predators' Pekka Rinne: Back in net Tuesday

Rinne will start between the posts Tuesday against the Avalanche, Brooks Bratten of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

After a maintenance day Sunday, Rinne will look to continue his impressive run, as the 34-year-old netminder has gone 7-1-0 with a 1.26 GAA and .957 save percentage over his last eight starts. The Finn will have a highly favorable matchup on his hands, as the Avalanche rank second-to-last in goals (44) and have lost their last two games.
