The Predators and Coyotes meet for the first time since their five-game Western Conference Semifinal series in the 2012 Playoffs, a series Phoenix won behind timely scoring and outstanding goaltending from Mike Smith.

That victory gave Rinne four career shutouts against the Coyotes – more than he has against any other team. «Read the rest of this article»
