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.

Kerfoot will be replaced by AJ Greer, who was recalled from the AHL. Kerfoot has had a solid season and should be considered questionable for Colorado’s back-to-back on Friday and Saturday.
Saros allowed one goal on five shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in the Predators loss in Vancouver last night. Saros has stared a lot less than originally projected as the Predators continue to lean heavily on Rinne. The 23-year-old comes into Saturday’s game at 5-2-0 with a 3.43 GAA, .887 SV% and one shutout on the road.

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.
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.
Skjei has been held pointless in four straight games and will be replaced by Brenden Smith on Saturday.
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.
Lyubushkin is expected to play in Pittsburgh because Alex Goligoski is out with a lower-body injury. The 24-year-old defenseman has averaged just 12:10 TOI/gm in five games with the Coyotes this season. Lyubushkin has posted an ugly 47.3 CorsiFor%, -8.5 CF% rel with Arizona this season, so this is a big downgrade from the veteran Goligoski.
Jost has missed the last four games with a head injury, but is expected to play Friday vs. the Jets. Jost will re-enter the lineup with just two points (1G / 1A) and nine shots on goal in 11 games.
It seemed likely that Jost would return to the Avalanche lineup, but he will not play tonight vs. the Predators. With Jost still out, Vladislav Kamenev is expected to remain in a top-6 role.
Jost has been sidelined since October 26th, but could be back tonight vs. the Predators. Jost’s status will be determined after the morning skate, so keep an eye on him this afternoon. Jost had a slow start to the season, picking up just one goal and one assist (two points) in 11 games.
Jost will miss Colorado’s trip to Western Canada, so Vladislav Kamenev will move up and centre the second line. Monitor Jost’s stats as the Avalanche return to home-ice next Wednesday.
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.

Saros allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Predators win in New Jersey on Thursday. It was a nice bounce-back performance from Saros, who allowed five goals against the Sharks on Tuesday. This afternoon he faces an Oilers team that he posted a 31-save shutout against last Saturday.
