Predators' Pekka Rinne: Draws another start Tuesday

Rinne was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and is slated to start Tuesday night's game in Buffalo, Joe Yerdon of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Rinne has won his last two starts, but it definitely hasn't been pretty -- he allowed six total goals and posted an .889 save percentage in games against the Avalanche and Oilers. Nevertheless, the offense in front of him has been hot lately -- 3.58 goals per game in February -- which means that Rinne can sometimes afford not to be at the top of his game. He'll turn his attention to a Sabres offense that has been better lately, but still averages just 2.44 goals per game.
