Predators' Pekka Rinne: Between posts Sunday

Rinne will patrol the blue paint for Sunday's away game against the Wild.

Analysis:

Despite the continued solid play of youngster Juuse Saros, Rinne will draw his second start in a row after turning in a 30-save performance against the Oilers on Friday. All in all, the 34-year-old goalie has looked a lot better recently, allowing two goals or fewer in six of his last seven starts. He'll have his hands full against a hot Minnesota team that averages 3.31 goals per game, good for third in the league.
