Pekka Rinne's night barely got started on Monday.

The Nashville Predators netminder was pulled less than five minutes into the second period of Game 3 versus the Colorado Avalanche after allowing four goals on just 15 shots.

After scoring on their first shot in Games 1 and 2, it took the Avalanche just two tries before forward Blake Comeau beat Rinne on Monday.

Rinne is considered a favorite for the Vezina Trophy after he finished the regular season with 42 wins in 59 games, alongside a .927 save percentage and 2.31 GAA.
