He's got three more games against Minnesota, so that leaves around 20 more wins after that, so I think he can do it.

I crunched the numbers down and prorated his pace, which wasn't difficult (I could do it without a calculator) since all I had to do was to multiply everything by two.
Nashville 41 gp 28 wins 9 losses 4 ot losses 60 points
Pekka Rinne 36 games 28 wins 6 losses 2 ot losses 72 goals allowed Gaa 1.98 SV% 93.0
Carter Hutton 5 gp 0 wins 3 losses 2 ot losses 14 goals allowed GAA 2.75 SV% 89.9
Prorated
Nashville 82 gp 56 wins 18 losses 8 OTL 120 points
Pekka Rinne 72 games played 56 wins 12 losses 4 ot losses 144 goals allowed
Carter Hutton 10 gp 0 wins 6 losses 4 ot losses 28 goals allowed
These are just numbers and multiplications, but I find them interesting still. I have no idea which categories will change the most during the season. Most likely if and when Nashville is close to securing a really good playoff position, it could mean that Rinne plays less games. This might not still be true, since as someone mentioned before, Rinne likes to play in the majority of the games and 72 would not set a new record for him in games played in a season.
Whatever the final result will be, the amount of wins he has is amazing at the moment. I was amazed when I compared his wins to losses ratio compared to all the other big game goalies in the league this season. Rinne has 4 or more wins for every loss while most of the goalies just below him have a ratio of 2 wins to 1 loss.
Also, here is a list of goalies who have had the most wins in a season, just for comparisons sake.

Rinne close to set a new milestone record
NSH is 28-9-4 and Rinne is 28-6-2. His back-up goalies are left with 0-3-2. Quite impressing. If he maintains this level of play and finishes with over 50 wins, could you see him winning the Hart Trophy? Last time that was given to goalie in 2001-02, Jose Theodore.

If he breaks the NHL record for wins, how could he not get the Hart? It'd be like a forward scoring 110 goals and not getting the Hart.

Except that a forward has much more individual control over scoring 110 goals, while a goaltender has much less individual control over winning 50 games.
And except that 110 goals is 20% more than the current NHL record, while 50 wins is 4% more than the current record.
And except that forwards regularly win the Hart Trophy, while goalies are usually an afterthought.

It would be incredible to see. I think he finishes with next to his career peak thus far. Then again, if his sv% holds and his team can continue scoring.....
The guy is fantastic. It's pretty remarkable to think about his hip infection and the way he's bounced back from the time off. He had what, month+ of last season in his return and that was it? Incredible.

Pekka Rinne has been healthy and they added a ton of offensively talented players along with a offensive-minded coach without losing the good defensive habits that Trotz instilled in them over the years.
Even with his injury (hopefully very minor), he still recorded the win. His 29th win... considering Nashville has played 42 games this season, he is on a RIDICULOUS pace of 57 wins this season. Assuming he is healthy, he can cool off dramatically and still break the record.

I wouldnt say added a ton of offensive players-Ribeiro, Jokinen and Roy were the 3 FA forwards. Robs has been good, Roy waived, Jokinen ok.
The kids-Forsberg, Wilson, and Smith have confidence, not afraid of being benched if they screw up.
Defence is more active, and Ellis, Ekholm, and Jones are getting better. People forget how young they all are
and a healthy Rinne-the biggest thing

I didn't mean that you just added offensive players via FA. I would say Neal was a big add for you guys even if it was via trade and Forsberg was a big addition as a full-time player from your prospect pool.

Nashville should probably look into getting a capable backup. No need to run Rinne into the ground before the playoffs.
Hutton wasn't terrible when Rinne was injured last season. If he's doing nothing more than playing a few back ends of back-to-backs and some spot starts here and there to give Rinne a rest, he shouldn't be a big problem.
I agree. Hutton is a good backup. No goalie is going to play really well when they only get one game per month. Hutton's MO is to let in a soft goal early, then settle in a play a solid game. Pretty much what you would expect from someone shaking off the rust.
I think that Peks will get the record. The Preds are showing no signs of tapering off; just the opposite really. The PP and PK have been good lately, and the offense has heated up. I don't expect the Preds to have the opportunity to coast into the playoffs due to playing in the Central; the division race will go to the end. The biggest hindrance to him getting the record will be the number of back to backs remaining translating to less starts.

I think it's definitely possible and shouldn't be ruled out, but one would have to think a bad stretch is coming for the Predators. Every team has one and they have yet to have theirs. I think he gets around 45-47, depending
It'd be really cool to see Rinne break 50
