Nashville’s Pekka Rinne shuts down Tomas Tatar last night as the Pred’s defeat Montreal 3-1<\/p><\/div>\n

The Nashville Predators welcomed the Montreal Canadiens last night at the Bridgestone Arena, and it was thanks to the goaltending skills of Pekka Rinne that made the difference and saw the Predators send the Canadiens packing.<\/p>\n

The first period went scoreless thanks to Pekka Rinne. The Finnish goalie stopped 34 shots on goal last night to help the Predators end a three game losing streak. Brian Boyle, who was picked up by Nashville from the New Jersey Devils, scored his first goal since joining the team. Also scoring was Viktor Arvidsson and Ryan Hartman. Assists were awarded to Ryan Ellis, Ryan Johansen, Roman Josi, Craig Smith and P.K Subban.<\/p>\n

Rinne was instrumental in helping Nashville get through the second period stopping 21 shots. Peter Laviolette, coach for the Nashville Predators<\/a>, commented that he felt Rinne was outstanding last night. Montreal\u2019s Tomas Tatar scored their only goal and Cary Price had 35 saves for the night. The lost was the first time since the early part of January that the Canadiens have lost back-to-back games.<\/p>\n

Commenting, Carey Price said,<\/p>\n

“I thought it was a pretty entertaining game going both ways. I thought we held our own for sure. We don’t like the result, but I thought we played a good team well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It wasn\u2019t until the midway point in the third period that Nashville, after Montreal had tied the game at 14:34, that Brian Boyle<\/a> scored with a blistering slap shot from just inside Montreal\u2019s blue line.<\/p>\n
