Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne's up-and-down Stanley Cup Final took another turn for the worse in Thursday's Game 5 when he allowed three goals in the opening period and was benched before the start of the second.
Rinne was replaced by Juuse Saros, who quickly allowed Pittsburgh's fourth goal when Conor Sheary scored just 1:19 into the second period.
Pittsburgh's first two goals came 5:12 apart early in Game 5, on the power play from Justin Schultz and at even strength from Bryan Rust. Evgeni Malkin put the Penguins up 3-0 with 10.
