RINNE REACHES THE QUARTER-CENTURY MARK IN WINS
With his 25th victory of the season on Thursday vs. San Jose, rookie Pekka Rinne became just the second goaltender in franchise history to record 25 wins in a season. Tomas Vokoun surpassed the quarter-century mark in wins four consecutive seasons from 2002-07. Rinne is the 11th rookie goaltender in NHL history to win 25-plus games in a season, and just the sixth first-year netminder to do it in the last 14 seasons, joining Steve Mason (CBJ, 2008-09), Henrik Lunqvist (NYR, 2006-07), Ryan Miller (BUF, 2006-07), Andrew Raycroft (BOS, 2003-04) and Evgeni Nabokov (S.J, 2000-01).

Since the start of February, Rinne has started 21 of Nashville’s 26 games, and has held the opposition to two goals or less 14 times in that span. He is 14-3-4 with a 2.06 goals-against average (second among goalies with at least five starts), a .930 save percentage and three shutouts (tied for first).

Rinne ranks third in the league in overall goals-against average (2.22), fourth in save percentage (.922) and tied for second in shutouts (7). When he gets three-or-more goals in offensive support, Rinne is 15-0-2.

so he is the 2nd goaltender who reaches 25 wins in a season EDIT**** For the Predators organization*****. Not bad for starting the year as a backup

Love this guy, and I\'m pissed I traded him in my pool. I gotta hunt for him next year again :angry:

i traded him for Streit a few months ago in a dynasty league... i am flush with goalies, but i could have gotten more if i waited a little longer.

He has the size and ability to be a beast.

Only one (now two) goalies in franchise history with 25 wins? Ouch.

I love Rinne though - has tremendous upside.

Seems like every season there is a worthwhile goalie to be had in Predville. Bit of a testament to the hockey Trotz has those guys playing as well. I have had Rinne safely tucked on my farm team all season, delighted in the fact that I won\'t have to protect a guy like Theodore for next season, now if only Rads who come back for a little more goal support.
