Pekka Rinne’s No. 35 raised to rafters, 1st retired by Preds
Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. — Pekka Rinne can’t wait to bring his 1-year-old son Paulus back to Nashville in a few years and share stories from his playing days. Pekka Rinne, who led the Nashville Predators to their lone Stanley Cup Final in 2017, is adding another first to his long list of accomplishments. “Going back seven, eight years, I wasn’t thinking about playing an outdoor game or having things like this happening in Nashville,” Rinne said. “It’s pretty special, especially as a Finn,” Predators goalie Juuse Saros said of the goalie he lived with when he first arrived in Nashville. It’s awesome.” Rinne’s career goals-against average of 2.43 is tied for fourth-best among goalies with at least 350 wins in NHL history, behind only Dominik Hasek, Martin Brodeur and Jacques Plante.
