Juuse Saros News
Saros will start in Buffalo on Sunday.

Saros will be back between the pipes for the Predators on Sunday after Kevin Lankinen got the call for Saturday's game against the Rangers. After a run of four consecutive victories, Saros struggled his last time out, allowing four goals on 15 shots before being lifted in favour of Lankinen in Thursday's 6-1 defeat to the Wild. He'll look to get back in the win column against a struggling Sabres team on Sunday.

Juuse Saros will start Thursday vs. Minnesota.

Saros will start for the third straight game and look for his fifth consecutive victory as the red-hot Predators are riding a six-game winning streak. After a shaky start to the season, recording only four wins in his first 13 games (4-9-0) and a .892 SV%, Saros has looked more like himself during his current four-game winning streak, boasting a .925 SV%. The Predators are averaging 4.33 goals per game during this six-game stretch and are -115 home favourites against a Minnesota Wild team that ranks second-worst in the league defensively (3.80 GA / GP).

Saros will start against the Penguins on Tuesday.

Saros is the starter for the Predators on Tuesday as they look to extend their season-best winning streak to six games. Saros started the season playing some of the worst hockey of his career, recording a .892 SV% through 13 games (4-9-0), but seems to have levelled off to more familiar territory, posting a substantially better .920 SV% in his last three games (3-0-0). The Predators are slight -106 home favourites against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that has four of their last six (2-4-0).

Saros will start against the Flames on Wednesday.

Saros is coming off his first victory in November thanks to heroics from his Predators teammates, who scored two goals in the final minute to overcome a 3-2 deficit and win 4-3 over the Colorado Avalanche. Through 14 games this season, Saros remarkably only has two quality starts (.357) after registering at least a .618 quality start rate in his four previous seasons. This string of poor play is unfamiliar territory for the perennial Vezina-finalist. The Predators hope his most recent victory can help jump-start Saros back into the netminder he has proven himself to be over the past half-decade. Saros and the Predators are slight -103 home underdogs against a Calgary Flames team that has scored four or more goals in three straight (2-0-1).

Juuse Saros will start Monday vs. Colorado.

The Predators' last two wins have come with Kevin Lankinen between the pipes as a struggling Saros will return to the crease on Monday. Saros has not been the elite goaltender the hockey world has become accustomed to over the past half-decade this season, highlighted by allowing 21 goals on 149 shots (.859 SV%) during a season-worst five-game losing streak (0-5-0). The Predators are +146 home underdogs against an Avalanche team that has won three straight games, outscoring their opposition 19-6.

Saros will start Tuesday's game against the Ducks.

Saros will get the chance to redeem himself on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks after some uncharacteristically poor play in November. Saros has yet to win this month (0-4-0) and has allowed three or more goals in each game, posting an awful .860 SV%. Saros has never posted a sub- .914 SV% but is well below his career averages this season with a 3.24 GAA and .894 SV%. Despite his struggles, Saros and the Predators remain -173 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that ranks in the bottom half of the league offensively (3.14 GF / GP).

Saros will start in Winnipeg on Thursday.

Saros will get the nod in goal for a league-leading eleventh time this season. The Predators' workhorse gave up just three goals on 38 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 defeat to the Flames. Saros owns a .911 SV% and a 2.73 GAA to go along with his 4-6-0 record. He has a decent chance of getting back in the win column on Thursday with the Predators being just slight underdogs at +105 on the road in Winnipeg.

Saros will start Tuesday's game in Calgary.

Saros will be the starter on Tuesday after serving as the backup to Kevin Lankinen in two of the Predators' last three games. In his most recent contest, Saros allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. Despite a subpar 5-6-0 record, the Predators rank top-ten in the league defensively, allowing an average of only 2.91 goals per game, which bodes well as they take on the Calgary Flames, who rank fifth-worst offensively (2.55 GF / GP).

Juuse Saros will start Thursday at Seattle.

The Predators will turn back to Juuse Saros after giving him his first rest of the season, a 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. Saros will be starting for the ninth time in 10 games and should continue to be a workhorse for the Predators as Lankinen's first start on Tuesday likely did not instill much confidence from the coaching staff. Saros is performing right around his career averages this season, posting a 2.49 GAA and .915 SV% but has only been able to record a 4-4-0 record due to his team's inability to score consistently (2.78 GF / GP). The Predators visit the Seattle Kraken on Thursday, who have the 27th-ranked offence in the league (2.40 GF / GP).

Saros will start Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs.

Saros allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Predators' loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for Saros, who is 3-4-0 with a 2.58 GAA, .910 SV% and one shutout in seven starts this season. Tonight he'll face a Maple Leafs team that is seventh in xGF/60 (3.54) this season.

Saros will start Tuesday's game against the Canucks.

Saros has started every game for the Predators this season, and he'll get the call again on Tuesday. He's led the league in starts in each of the last two seasons and continues to be a workhorse for the Predators to begin the 2023-24 campaign. One of the NHL's most consistent goaltenders is off to another fine start this season, registering a .915 SV% and a 2.49 GAA to along with a 3-3-0 record. He will have his hands full tonight against a Vancouver team that's averaging an even four goals per game to begin the season.
