Rinne is projected to start Thursday's game against the Coyotes.

Analysis:

The Predators didn't hold a morning skate, but all indications are that Rinne will enter the net for his 25th outing of the season. He might be the best goalie play on the board for Thursday's slate in a matchup against a Coyotes squad that has lost three games in a row by a combined 14-4 margin.
