Predators' Pekka Rinne: Plays well in losing effort

Rinne saved 30 of 32 shots during Tuesday's overtime loss to the Islanders.

Analysis:

The veteran is closing the season out strong with a 6-2-1 record, .935 save percentage and 1.77 GAA. Rinne has had an up-and-down campaign, but with another 30-win season and respectable ratios (.917 save percentage and 2.43 GAA), he's been a low-end No. 1 goalie or strong No. 2 for virtual clubs. Looking ahead, with Juuse Saros likely earning more and more starts next season, Rinne's long-term value is starting to decline.
