Predators' Pekka Rinne: Gives up four, wins anyway

Rinne pulled out an overtime win despite allowing four goals on 32 shots in Buffalo on Tuesday.

Analysis:

He's made a habit of such outings lately, which has to leave Rinne's fantasy owners nervous every time he's between the pipes now -- the Finnish veteran has allowed four goals in five of his last seven starts, a stretch in which he has an atrocious .851 save percentage. Backup netminder Juuse Saros has been excellent in limited action, and the Preds would be wise to turn the youngster's way a bit more often to keep the 34-year-old Rinne fresh down the stretch.
