This is an incredible start for Pekka Rinne, and it’s giving the Nashville Predators a deadly combination. We’ve seen him do this before, but it’s coming at a time when his career should be regressing. Instead he’s appearing to not lose steam at all.
It’s already widely known that the Predators have an elite offense, perhaps the best in the NHL. Statistically speaking they are the best offensive team in the league averaging four goals per game. Now when Rinne is locked in like he is now, the Predators have to be considered one of the top favorites to win the Stanley Cup.
