Predators goalie Pekka Rinne pulled from Game 7 against Jets

The Nashville Predators pulled goalie Pekka Rinne just 10:07 into Game 7 of the Preds' second-round series with the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night.

Rinne -- a Vezina Trophy finalist for the NHL's best goaltender -- allowed two soft goals, the first when Jets defenseman Tyler Myers' shot went off Rinne's blade and in at 8:41.

Jets center Paul Stastny made it 2-0, finding the back of the net at 10:47.

In seven shots on goal, the Jets had scored twice.

Moments later, Predators coach Peter Laviolette pulled Rinne, putting backup Juuse Saros in the net.
