Predators' Pekka Rinne: Will start Saturday, may exit early

Rinne will be between the pipes Saturday in Winnipeg but may not play the entire game, Adam Vingan of the Tennessean reports.

Analysis:

Even though Rinne may not play the entire game, this is by no means a throwaway game as the Preds still have a chance at moving to third in the Central Division. The 34-year-old netminder has recorded a 1.76 GAA and a .936 save percentage in his past four starts, but due to a lack of offensive presence he's posted a 1-2-1 record in that span. Even with his recent stellar play, it's tough to delegate a goalie to your fantasy squad that isn't assured of playing the entire game, so it'd be a better bet to find a sure 60-minute option.
