Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne was yanked in the third period of Game 5 against the Winnipeg Jets after allowing six goals on 26 shots.

This is already the third time this postseason - and the second time this series - that Rinne has been pulled mid-game in favor of Juuse Saros.

Mathieu Perreault, who hadn't played since Game 1 of the first round against the Minnesota Wild, notched the sixth tally that led to Rinne's departure.
