Community Picks: Nashville 0% vs Anaheim 0%

It appears that Pekka Rinne will finish his career in the place it started. The Nashville Predators locked up the 36-year-old netminder on a two-year extension, a lead that will pay him $10 million over its course ($6 million in 2019-20, $4 million in 2020-21).

The NHL announced Thursday that Bettman has upheld the suspension, determining that the illegal check to the head of St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist in a preseason game was avoidable. Sundqvist sustained a concussion, a right shoulder sprain and facial lacerations in the Sept. 30 game. Continue to Article
