Pekka Rinne notches shutout as Preds beat Hurricanes 5-0
Pekka Rinne took a lap around the ice as teammates watched, tapping their sticks against the boards. The Nashville Predators surrounded their 38-year-old goalie for a group hug, and he was the last to leave the ice. If this was his final start in Nashville, Rinne made it a night to remember in an otherwise meaningless game.
