FOR THE PREDATORS 2011-12 MEDIA GUIDE VISIT: nashvillepredators.com/mediaguideMAN-GAMES LOST DUE TO INJURY: 68 Kevin Klein is doubtful with the flu.RINNE NAMED NHL’S SECOND STAR OF THE WEEK Pekka Rinne was named the NHL’s Second Star of the Week on Monday after going 3-0-0 with a .957 save percentage for thePredators from Dec. 12-18. He made at least 35 saves in each of those starts, beginning with a 35 save effort in a 2-1 victory overCalgary on Dec. 13. He turned aside 37 shots in Nashville’s come-from-behind victory over Detroit last Thursday, then matched hisseason high with 39 saves and three shootout stops in a 2-1 victory against St. Louis on Saturday. Rinne earned NHL Three Stars of the Week honors more than any other player in team history. Of the six Predators to be recognizedas one of the three stars since December 2008, Rinne has accounted for five of them. He was named the Third Star of the Month twicein 2010-11 (January and March), making him the first Predator since Shea Weber (October 2008) to receive the honor. For the season, the Kempele, Finland native is 15-9-4 with a 2.42 goals-against average, .921 save percentage and three shutouts in2011-12. He leads all NHL goaltenders in shots faced (891) and saves (823), and ranks second in appearances (29). The 2011 VezinaTrophy finalist has posted at least 29 wins in three consecutive season, and has more shutouts (23) since the beginning of 2008-09than any other netminder. CAPABLE CAPTAIN With his assist on Sergei Kostitsyn’s goal on Tuesday night, captain Shea Weber has moved into the Predators points lead with 25(8g-17a) on the season. In Nashville’s last 18 games, Weber has 17 points (7g-10a), moving him into second among NHL defensemenin goals (8), tied for second in power-play goals (5) and third in points (25). He also ranks among the League’s top five blueliners inplus/minus rating (+15) and shots (100). His 86 goals since the start of the 2006-07 season are the most by an NHL d-man. Five of his eight goals this season have come in the final 20 minutes of play, and Nashville is 5-1-1 when its captain scores. TheSicamous, B.C., native has been on the ice for nearly 62 percent of Nashville’s goals this season. He was present for every Nashvillegoal in 13 straight games (Nov. 9-22), and has been on the ice for 52-of-85 goals in 2011-12. He notched his seventh-career two-goal game, and first since Oct. 22, 2009 against Ottawa, after scoring the final two goals againstDetroit a week ago. His two goals were the second time this season a Predator has had two goals in a period and the seventh time aplayer has had two goals in a game. The first goal moved him past Jason Arnott and into second on the franchise’s all-time power-playgoals list (41), and the second tally tied him with Steve Sullivan for sixth on the Predators all-time game-winning goals list (16). POINTS UNDER PRESSURE Nashville continues to produce timely goals in the final 20 minutes of play. This month, the Predators have outscored their opponents13-8 (plus five) in the third period, despite being outshot 89-86 (minus three) in those nine games. For the season, Nashville ranks inthe League’s top five in third-period scoring with 38 goals, while its opponents have scored 32 goals in the third (plus four). Those goalshave come despite being outshot 344-297 (minus 47). BACK-TO-BACKS Tonight marks front end of Nashville’s fifth set of back-to-back games on the season.

Thus far, Nashville is even, posting a 2-2-0 record on the frontend and a 2-2-0 record on the back half this season. A season ago, the Predators were 9-4-0 on the front end and 6-6-1 on the backend of two-games-in-two-nights scenarios. LAST TIME OUT: Predators 1, Washington 4 at Verizon Center • Washington’s three shots in the second period tied a season low against the Predators. • The Predators were outshot (23-21) for the 24th time –the most of any team this season.
