Goalies’World goalie of the

all
There were many hot goalies this week in the NHL but our main honor goes to Pekka Rinne, of the Nashville Predators who stopped 61 of 63 shots for a 3-0, .968, 0,77 record. Rinne’s first win of the week came in relief duties on Wednesday in Minnesota. The next night in Nashville he shut out the Chicago Blackhawks in a 2-0, 22 saves win, and on Saturday, he had the top hand over the Dallas Stars, in a 4-2, 27 saves home win.
