LAS VEGAS (AP) – Nashville’s Pekka Rinne has been a Vezina Trophy finalist four times, and won the award honoring the league’s best goalie in 2018.
He’s been a vital part of the Predators’ success over the years.
But when it comes to playing the three-year old Vegas Golden Knights, the 36-year-old had made just two starts in six meetings and never beat them.
Until Tuesday night.
Rinne made 33 saves to remain unbeaten as the Predators topped Vegas 5-2.
