Jussi Rynnäs (born 22 May 1987) is a Finnish professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently playing with Krefeld Pinguine in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL).\n', '

As a younger player, Rynnäs was never considered a prime talent and was, for example, never drafted in the NHL. After becoming over-aged to play in the Ässät Junior team, Rynnäs had serious trouble in finding himself a team, ending up in the Finnish 3rd division. However, Ässät signed him for the 2009–2010 season and, after impressive performances in the pre-season games, Rynnäs got more and more responsibility and ended up becoming Ässät\'s number one Liiga goaltender and a fan favourite. He had the top save percentage (.927) during the 2009–10 season,[citation needed] and posted a 2.47 goals against average.\n', '

At the end of the season, several NHL teams showed interest, and Rynnäs chose Toronto. He and Brian Burke, president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, agreed to terms on a two-year entry-level contract.\n', '
