Pekka Rinne shines in return from injury to help Nashville Predators beat Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1

Pekka Rinne didn't miss a beat after being sidelined for two weeks. He made 42 saves after sitting out five games with an injury, and the Nashville Predators beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 on Thursday night. Rinne was hurt in the third period of a 5-3 victory at Calgary on Oct. 19. He was stretching to try and stop the puck when teammate Kevin Fiala landed on top of the goalie in an awkward-looking collision. Kyle Turris, Roman Josi, Calle Jarnkrok and Miikka Salomaki scored, and Ryan Johansen had two nifty assists for the Predators. Right wing Viktor Arvidsson, who has eight goals and 12 points, was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury and is day to day. The Predators reached 10 wins in 13 games, the fastest in franchise history. The previous mark was 15 games, done three times.
