NHL Note - Nashville Predators Rinne, Pekka

Dec 28, 2017 - 9:52 AM G Pekka Rinne, who shut out the Blues last month, came within seven minutes of doing it again before the Predators settled for a 2-1 win Wednesday. Rinne stopped 29 shots, giving him 63 saves on 64 shots in the two games in St. Louis this season. "Of course these are big division games and you really try to get ready for it," Rinne said. "For both teams, preparation-wise it was different coming straight from the break, which was nice to have but it's also tough to come back and have that mental preparation. I thought we handled it pretty good."
