Allows two goals in win Rinne saved 27 of 29 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

The 38-year-old Rinne improved to 9-11-1 with a 3.02 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 22 contests this season. It's unclear how long Juuse Saros (undisclosed) will be sidelined, but the crease will likely belong to Rinne during Saros' absence.

Struggling through difficult season Arvidsson snapped a five-game pointless streak with an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Arvidsson has not been his usual productive self this season. His 15 points in 35 games puts him on pace for just 24 points. That's the equivalent of just 35 points in a regular 82-game season -- a huge step back from his back-to-back 61-point campaigns in 2016 and 2017. Not surprisingly, Arvidsson's fantasy value has taken a huge hit this year -- feel free to stash him on your bench until he shows an uptick in productivity.

Saros is in the midst of a terrific stretch, winning three of his last four with just three goals allowed in that time. He's now 9-6-0 on the year with a 2.38 GAA and .923 save percentage.

It was just fourth goal of the season for Johansen, who has scored either 14 or 15 in each of the previous four seasons.

The goal gave Nashville a 2-0 lead with 7:02 left in the second period and stood as the game-winner. Grimaldi had just three goals all year prior to his two-game outburst and suddenly needs just a pair to match the career-high 10 he potted in 2019-20.

MARCH 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in with insurance tally Granlund scored a goal on his only shot and added three hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over Chicago.

Impact Granlund won't score many easier than his third-period goal, tapping in a Luke Kunin feed on the doorstep to put Nashville ahead 3-1 in the opening minute of the frame. It was the third straight game with a goal for Granlund, who has done so with just four shots on goal during that stretch. The 28-year-old center has 14 points in 31 games and boasts a career-best 16.7 shooting percentage.
