Saros will start Wednesday in Washington.

Saros allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Predators' loss to the Ducks on January 16th. Saros has stumbled recently, going 1-1-2 with a 3.63 GAA and .882 SV% in his last six appearances (five starts). He'll face a Capitals team that has lost four of their last five home games while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.

Saros stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Predators shutout win in Winnipeg on Sunday. It was a much-needed game from Saros, who had previously lost four in a row while giving up a combined 14 goals against. He is a great play on Thursday with the Ducks in town. They've lost four in a row and are 2-10-2 while scoring just 2.29 goals per game in their last 14 road contests.

Marchessault (lower-body) will miss his fourth consecutive game on Thursday.

Marchessault was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will not be available against the Kings. With Marchessault still out, the Golden Knights are expected to keep Chandler Stephenson on the William Karlsson line and Paul Stastny between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone.

Saros allowed two goals on 19 shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in last night's loss to the Penguins. He'll get the chance to start the game in Pittsburgh tonight but comes in with his own share of struggles. Saros is 2-2-2 with a 3.14 GAA and .894 SV% in his last six starts and is obviously a risky option against a Penguins team that is 8-2-0 in their last 10.

Saros will start Thursday in Ottawa.

Saros allowed two goals on 41 shots in the Predators win in New York on Monday. Pekka Rinne won Tuesday but they'll come back to Saros, who was excellent vs. the Rangers. Saros has gone 4-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .913 SV% in his last seven starts and should be a decent option in Ottawa but the Senators have won seven of their last eight home games while scoring 3.50 goals per game.
