#15 :: PEKKA RINNE’S “STICK SAVE” IN EDMONTON

Nashville is a team trying to get into the playoffs for the second straight year and the Oilers are… well… destined to pick #1 in the NHL Draft for the second staight year. The teams go to overtime and Rinne’s stick, which is stuck in the twine of the net, makes what literally became a game-saving stop in the 3-2 Nashville shootout win.
