Predators' Pekka Rinne: Gets starting nod for Tuesday's contest
Rinne will start between the pipes in Tuesday's home game against the Islanders.
Analysis:
Rinne was unbeatable in his last outing, turning aside all 31 shots he faced en route to an impressive 3-0 victory over the Wild on Saturday. The Finnish netminder will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 32nd win of the campaign in a home matchup with a banged-up Islanders squad that will be without forwards John Tavares (lower body), Ryan Strome (wrist), Nikolay Kulemin (upper body), Shane Prince (lower body) and Casey Cizikas (upper body) on Tuesday.
