Former Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Nov. 9. Rinne is the Predators' all-time leader in wins, saves, and shutouts. He will be the second member of the franchise to be inducted, following Shea Weber. Rinne won 369 games in 15 seasons with the Predators after his arrival in the 2005-06 season. In addition to wins, he's the franchise's all-time leader in saves and shutouts, and he won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender in the 2017-18 season. Rinne recalls the moment he got the call from Hall chairman Mike Gartner in June, an exchange he assumed was a prank. After a back-and-forth with Gartner and 2007 Hall inductee Ron Francis, Rinne confirmed the call was real. That set off a celebration in the Rinne household, including his wife and two young children.
