Predators' Pekka Rinne: Silences Oilers for second shutout of season

Rinne denied the Oilers on all 31 shots they sent his way in Thursday's 2-0 win.

Analysis:

He saw this same Oilers squad less than two weeks ago and took home a 30-save road win in overtime, so Rinne doesn't seem intimidated at all by Connor McDavid and his mates. The Finnish veteran has been playing inspired hockey this year, boosted by a strong defensive unit and perhaps motivated by the outstanding play of countryman and new No. 2 netminder Juuse Saros.
