So often fans see Pekka Rinne hold the Nashville Predators in games as they seemingly try to lose. But the visitors dominated possession and scoring chances against one of the top teams in the East. In fact, the Predators had a 60.87% Fenwick, 45 scoring chances, 18 high danger chances, and two goals at even strength. The Maple Leafs lost the battle in terms of quantity and quality, but emerged victorious due to the worst gimmick in hockey.
While the Predators had an awesome game, and the best third period of their season, there’s one player that deserves recognition.
