Nashville Predators News: Pekka Rinne coming back after 2nd AHL win

After recording his second victory for the Milwaukee Admirals this afternoon, Pekka Rinne is coming back to Nashville to re-join the Predators. Later this evening, Jack Goods will provide his recap of the action up in Milwaukee today, but let's get right to the big news around here:

Rinne said if it was his call, he'd be good for the next Predators game.
