Juuse Saros News
Saros will be between the pipes Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Saros will start in Pittsburgh because Pekka Rinne has never won a game (regular season or playoffs) in Pittsburgh, so they will roll the dice with the 22-year-old. Saros had a really good season as Rinne’s backup last year, going 10-8-3 with a 2.35 GAA, .923 SV% and one shutout. The Penguins haven’t had a good start to the season, but that might be a reason to stay away from Saros—they will be a motivated team after getting embarrassed on Thursday.

Saros allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Predators’ win over the Capitals on February 25th. Saros has played very well in his first NHL season, but hasn’t been given a tonne of playing time. He enters Saturday with a 7-5-3 record despite posting a strong 2.21 GAA, .929 SV% and one shutout. However, he’ll be in tough against good Blackhawks team.
