Juuse Saros News
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros had a solid performance in Game 5 of their first-round series against the Vancouver Canucks, picking up a 2-1 victory. Saros helped the Preds stave off elimination, stopping 19 of 20 shots in his best outing of the series. The Predators will need their veteran goaltender to keep having performances like this if they want to come back and win this series, as his current .879 SV% isn't good enough to win the team two more games. It has been a low-scoring series so far and the difference could easily be which goaltender is better, so Saros could have to steal a game or two.
The Nashville Predators are unlikely to trade star goaltender Juuse Saros, according to general manager Barry Trotz. "I think he'll be playing net for us this year," Trotz told The Athletic. "I don't suspect anything coming... We're pretty safe in saying he's going to be here." Trotz added that defenseman Alexandre Carrier might stay and fellow blueliner Tyson Barrie might go. The club looked to be trade deadline sellers but have rattled off six straight wins to climb back into playoff contention. They currently occupy the second Wild Card spot in the West thanks to a 33-25-2 record. Five points behind them is the Calgary Flames and while the Flames have one game in hand, the Predators are in a good spot to surprisingly crack the postseason.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will pick up his 39th start of the season Monday versus Ottawa. After beating Minnesota 3-2 in his previous appearance, Saros will be looking to register back-to-back wins for the first time since the start of last month. Saros has a lowly 4-5-0 record this month despite producing a solid 2.59 goals-against average. He'll be desperate for more goal support from his team on Monday. Saros has gone 19-18-1 for the season, allowing 2.91 goals with a .904 save percentage and two shutouts.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros produced a flawless performance against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, stopping 21 shots in a 3-0 win for his second shutout of the season. It also marks his 22nd career shutout, which puts Saros in sole possession of the second spot on Nashville's all-time list. He broke a tie with Tomas Vokoun, and Pekka Rinne (60) is now the only man in front of him. Saros has been a bit shaky lately, and he had lost four of his previous five starts, but the 28-year-old has enjoyed a solid campaign overall. In 30 appearances, Saros has produced a 2.91 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage.
