Predators' Pekka Rinne: Seizes 3-0 lead over Blackhawks

Rinne turned away 34 of 36 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime win against the Blackhawks in Monday's Game 3.

Analysis:

After walking out of Chicago with wins in the first two games of the series, the Preds came home and immediately took care of business, taking a 3-0 series lead. Rinne posted shutouts in both Games 1 and 2, so he's now allowed only two goals on 95 shots -- a .979 save percentage. That includes denying Patrick Kane on eight of his game-high nine shots in this one. Now Rinne and his mates will head into a home game Thursday with a chance to complete a stunning series sweep.
