Predators' Pekka Rinne: Tending twine Tuesday against Minnesota

Rinne will start between the pipes in Tuesday's home game against the Wild, Adam Vingan of the Tennessean reports.

Analysis:

Rinne hasn't played well in the month of December, posting a 3-4-1 record with an ugly 3.57 GAA and .867 save percentage over eight appearances. The Finnish netminder will look to get back on track in a highly unfavorable matchup with a red-hot Minnesota team that will be looking to extend its franchise-record 10-game winning streak Tuesday evening.
