Predators' Pekka Rinne: Strong in season-ending loss

Rinne had his ups and downs in the series, allowing 17 goals over six games, including nine goals over Games 4 and 5. This was arguably his best performance of the playoffs, but it wasn't enough to save the Predators' season, as they lost the series 4-2.

Predators' Pekka Rinne: Guarding crease for Game 6

After allowed just six goals in the first three games of the series, Rinne has been drilled for nine goals on 34 shots over the last two contests. The Predators have their backs against the wall down 3-2 in the series but they'll continue to rely on their longtime netminder.

Predators' Pekka Rinne: Needs some help from team

The Stars' top line dominated the Predators. Tyler Seguin had a goal and assist, Alexander Radulov had two snipes, and Jamie Benn set up three. The loss wasn't on Rinne -- the Preds' forwards have gone silent, except for fourth-line sniper Rocco Grimaldi. Rinne can't do it all, but he may have to if Nashville is going to advance. Dallas now leads the series 3-2 heading home for Game 6.

Rinne's night lasted less than 14 minutes. It was an ugly outing for the visitors in general, with Rinne's struggles receiving top billing. Despite his poor performance, expect Nashville to stick with Rinne in Game 5, as the 36-year-old played well at home in 2018-19, finishing the regular season with a home record of 19-9-1 in 29 starts.
