Goalie Start
Saros is projected to start Tuesday in Chicago.
Goalie Start
Saros will start Saturday vs. the Devils.
Saros allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Predators 5-2 loss in Calgary last Saturday. Saros has not won a game since November 10th, allowing 15 goals on 81 shots (.815 SV%) over his last four appearances. Despite some recent struggles, Saros is a great option against a Devils team on the tail-end of a back-to-back. New Jersey has been terrible on the road and Saros is already 1-0-0 against them this season.

The Coyotes recalled Michael Bunting from Tucson (AHL).
Bunting, 23, was a fourth-round pick (No.117 overall) in 2014 and could make his NHL debut on Saturday. Buntin has picked up six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 20 games with the Roadrunners this season.
The Predators have placed Filip Forsberg (undisclosed) on IR.
The Predators depth continues to be tested as Forsberg joins fellow top-6 forwards Kyle Turris and Viktor Arvidsson on IR. There is no word on what happened to Forsberg and how long they expect their star winger to be out.
Goalie Start
Saros will start Friday in St. Louis.
Line Change
Skjei will be back in the Rangers lineup on Wednesday.
Skjei was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Brendan Smith tonight vs. the Islanders. Skjei has one goal and six assists while averaging 21:51 TOI/gm through 19 games this season.
Line Change
Skjei will be scratched on Saturday.
Skjei has been held pointless in four straight games and will be replaced by Brenden Smith on Saturday.
Haula is month-to-month with a lower-body injury.
Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant announced on Wednesday that Haula is “month-to-month” but wouldn’t say if he needed surgery. Haula will likely be out until at least mid-December and could be out much longer than that.
The Golden Knights have placed Erik Haula (lower-body) on IR.
Haula was stretchered off of the ice in Toronto on November 6th, but his injury remains a bit of a mystery. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that Haula’s injury is complex and the Golden Knights won’t know the full extent of the injury until he receives second and third medical opinions. It sounds like the second-line centre will miss at least a couple of months.
Goalie Start
Saros leads the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
Saros gets the nod for the Preds on Tuesday after Rinne lead them to a 2-1 victory over the Ducks last night. Saros has performed well in limited action, posting a 7-2-0 record on the season. He draws a difficult matchup tonight on the road against the Sharks.
Goalie Start
Saros leads the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
Haula (lower-body) will miss at least the next three games.
Haula was stretchered off of the ice after a collision with Patrick Marleau on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the Golden Knights’ road-trip. Haula will likely be re-evaluated once the Golden Knights return to Vegas and a full timetable will be released. However, this has to seem like positive news because it looked like his season could be over last night.
Gravel is expected to be back in the Oilers lineup on Tuesday.
Gravel has appeared in just two games with the Oilers and will play in his first game since October 25th. Gravel has averaged just 10:35 TOI/GM this season.
The Oilers recalled Kevin Gravel from Bakersfield (AHL).
Gravel has just one assist in five games with the Condors this season and has been recalled to take Evan Bouchard’s spot on the roster. Bouchard was sent to the OHL for the rest of the season, so Gravel will likely remain with the Oilers as their sixth/seventh defenseman. He has 10 points (1G / 9A) in 72 career NHL games with the Kings (70 GP) and Oilers (2 GP).
Goalie Start
Saros leads the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
Saros surrendered four goals on 34 shots in the Predators 5-3 loss to the Oilers on Saturday afternoon. Saros has been average this season, going 5-2-0 with a 2.73 GAA and .912 SV%. Pekka Rinne was in the starter’s crease this morning, but Saros was the first goalie off, suggesting that Saros will make his fifth straight start.
