NASHVILLE -- Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne will be out 3-5 weeks with a sprained knee he sustained in the game Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, the team announced Thursday.


Rinne will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, which ends Jan. 26.

Rinne leads the NHL with 29 wins and was named to the 2015 Honda NHL All-Star Game after missing 51 games last season with a hip infection.

Yesterday it was reported that he was hurt, but now we know the severity of the injury. This is a big blow to Nashville as Rinne leafs the NHL with 29 wins this season. He has so far had what amounted to a potential Vezina with 1.96 GAA and .931 save percentage. Hopefully he can make a full recovery.
