The struggling Predators, the only team without a point in the 2024-25 season (0-5-0), are looking for a spark and have recalled L'Heureux from the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) to make his NHL debut on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 21-year-old L'Heureux was the 27th overall pick of the Predators in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He had 48 points (19G / 29A) in 66 games with Milwaukee last season.

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 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.

Murray has been reassigned to the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL, an indication and Juuse Saros is ready to return to the Predators lineup. The 26-year-old Murray spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, posting a 3.02 GAA and .896 SV% in 31 games (14-15-2) with the Texas Stars.

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).
