Pekka Rinne hit a big milestone in a lopsided victory by the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.

The veteran goaltender picked up the 300th win of his career as the Predators blew out the San Jose Sharks 7-1 on home ice, and he got emotional in the postgame interview after receiving an ovation from the crowd.

Rinne is the 34th netminder in league history, the first in franchise history, and the third Finnish goalie to accomplish the feat, according to Predators digital manager Thomas Willis.
