Juuse Saros News

The Predators snapped a three-game losing skid on Saturday courtesy of a 26-save shutout by Saros, his second of the season, in a 4-0 win over the Utah Hockey Club. Despite a modest 2-2-0 record, Saros has been tremendous in his previous four games, allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a supreme .941 SV%. The Predators enter Monday's contest as +130 road underdogs against a Colorado Avalanche club coming off an impressive 6-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Saros will be making his eleventh start of the season on Wednesday and will be hoping to improve on his 3-6-1 record. The 10-year-veteran allowed just two goals on 24 shots his last time out but still ended up with the loss as the Kings shutout the Predators 3-0 on Monday. Despite the poor record, Saros has rebounded after a slow start to the campaign, raising his SV% to a respectable .902. The Predators enter action on Wednesday as slight underdogs at +105.

The Predators are still struggling to live up to expectations after a busy offseason but, after losing their first five, have started to find their footing, winning four of their last six (4-1-1). Saros will start for the fourth straight game after an impressive performance in his previous outing, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche. The 29-year-old Saros has a 2.92 GAA and .900 SV% in nine games this season (3-5-1). The Predators enter the action on Monday as -140 home favorites against the Los Angeles Kings.

The Predators will unsurprisingly turn to their franchise netminder when they welcome the Connor McDavid-less Oilers to Nashville on Thursday. Saros got stuck with the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 overtime defeat at the hands of the Lightning. The 10-year-veteran now owns a 2-4-1 record on the season along with a .905 SV%. Saros is a decent bet to get back in the win column tonight as Nashville enters action as slight favourites at -130.

Saros will be back between the pipes for the Predators on Monday after Scott Wedgewood got the nod in the tail-end of their back-to-back on Saturday. After a slow start, Saros is coming off his best two games of the season, going 2-0-0 with a .968 SV% and a shutout over his last two appearances. His strong performance of late has improved his SV% and GAA on the year to .908 and 2.74, respectively. He will need to be at his best again on Monday as the Predators enter action as +115 underdogs in Tampa Bay.

Saros will make his sixth start of the season on Friday as the Predators opt to go with their number-one netminder for the front-end of their back-to-back. Saros easily had his best game of the season his last time out, stopping all 33 shots he faced in a 4-0 shutout victory over the Bruins on Tuesday. He owns a 1-4-0 record and a .903 SV% on the season. Saros draws a great matchup on Friday with Nashville being -170 road favourites in Chicago.

Saros will still be in search of his first victory when he makes his fifth start of the season on Tuesday. Nashville's franchise netminder is yet to get into a groove this season, posting an .875 SV% and a 3.64 GAA to along with his 0-4-0 record. He surrendered three goals on just 22 shots in a 5-2 defeat at the hands of the Red Wings on Saturday. Despite his struggles, Saros and the Predators are -140 favourites at home against the Bruins on Tuesday.

The Predators, one of only two teams without a point early in the 2024-25 season (0-3-0), will turn to Saros on Thursday when they attempt to snap their losing skid. The 29-year-old Saros has been unspectacular to start the season, posting an ugly 4.19 GAA and .855 SV% in two games (0-2-0). That said, slow starts are nothing new for Saros, who had a .892 SV% in his first 14 games last season (5-9-0) before steadying to a .913 SV% in his next 47 (29-14-4). The Predators enter action on Thursday as +110 home underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers club that won their first game of the season on Tuesday.

The winless Predators (0-2-0) will turn to Saros between the pipes for the second time this season. Saros was serviceable in his season opener on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings, saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%), but received zero goal support in the 3-0 loss. Saros signed an eight-year extension worth $61.92 million ($7.74M AAV) in the offseason and should see a heavy workload in net for the Predators this season. Nashville enters action on Tuesday as a -192 home favorite against the Seattle Kraken.

Saros missed the season opener with a lower-body injury but is expected to make his season debut on Saturday in Detroit. Saros, who has led the NHL in games played each of the last three seasons, was 13-9-3 with a 2.80 GAA and .909 SV% on the road last season. Nashville are -143 road favourites in Detroit.

Saros has not participated in the last two practices for the Predators due to a lower-body injury, resulting in the club calling up Matt Murray from the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL). Despite the call-up, Saros' injury does not appear to be overly concerning, and he was questionable for the season opener on Thursday against the Dallas Stars up until puck drop. Saros finished fifth in Vezina-trophy voting last season with a 2.86 GAA and 906 SV% in 64 appearances (35-24-5).

Despite the call-up, Saros' injury does not appear to be overly concerning, and could still be ready for their season opener on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. Saros finished fifth in Vezina-trophy voting last season with a 2.86 GAA and 906 SV% in 64 appearances (35-24-5).

Saros is entering the final year of a four-year deal that carries a $5.0M AAV cap-hit. When he can officially sign this contract extension on Monday, he'll have the sixth-highest AAV among goalies for the 2025-26 season, but likely the seventh or eighth after Igor Shesterkin and Jeremy Swayman get their new deals. The 28-year-old is coming off one of the worst statistical seasons of his career, going 35-24-5 with a 2.86 GAA and .906 SV%. While it was the third-straight season he's won 30-plus games, Saros was 36th out of 54 qualified goalies in GSAx/60 (-0.050). With the massive new deal, the Predators are obviously banking that 2024 was just a one-off.
