It’s difficult to imagine where the Nashville Predators would be without Pekka Rinne. Rinne has been between the pipes for Nashville’s most important games over the past ten seasons. More often than not, he’s been their best player on the ice. While Rinne’s status among his peers has been a hot topic of conversation for most of his career, he’s building stats that should include him among the elite.
With the Predators’ 7 to 1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night, Rinne became the thirty-fourth goalie in NHL history to record three hundred wins.
