Rinne will be between the pipes in Thursday's game against the Capitals.

Analysis:

Runners was sharp in his last outing, stopping 28 of 30 shots en route to a 6-2 win over the Sharks on Saturday. The 33-year-old netminder will look to earn a second consecutive win Tuesday in a highly unfavorable home matchup with a Capitals team that has averaged 3.16 goals per game on the road this season, second in the NHL.
