End of the line Rinne?
Paul Skrbina: It seemed last night like it was the last for Pekka Rinne. “Either way, what a ride he gave this franchise.”
If this is it for Pekka Rinne, what a moment to witness. He took a lap around the ice to thank the fans after being named the first star. The entire team stayed to witness it. The players that didn’t play tonight came out to the bench as well. #Preds pic.twitter.com/5dXKEe4TI9
