Rinne records shutout in win over Flames
Posted on October 22, 2011
Two days after a rough outing against the Vancouver Canucks, Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne bounced back with an outstanding effort against the Calgary Flames.
Rinne stopped all 33 shots he faced in a first-star performance on Saturday afternoon to lead the Predators to a 2-0 win over the Flames in front of 19,289 fans.
"I think we all were mentally prepared and just ready to go," said Rinne, who was pulled from Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Canucks after what he called a "rough start" when he gave up four goals on 16 shots in the first period.
