Saros had been playing well lately but had a forgetful night in his most recent outing, allowing six goals on 43 shots (.860 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Oilers. Before his recent blip, the 30-year-old Finnish goalie had a 2.72 GAA and .906 SV% in his last 13 games (9-4-0). The Predators enter the action on Thursday as -119 home favorites against a New York Islanders team coming off a monstrous 9-0 win over the New Jersey Devils.
