Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros stopped 34 of the 35 shots he saw on Tuesday evening against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes dominated the shot total, but Saros was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the second frame when Carolina left wing Taylor Hall found the back of the net on the power play. This outing extended his current winning streak to two games. During this stretch, he has posted a strong 1.50 GAA with a .951 save percentage. However, before his winning streak, Saros held a modest 3-3 record with a high 3.36 GAA with a .861 save percentage over his previous six contests. Saros has performed well at times this season but has struggled to find consistency. He will look to extend this winning streak to three games on Thursday against St. Louis.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros stopped 31 of the 32 shots he faced en route to defeating the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday evening. The Predators were heavily outshot in this contest, but Saros was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the second frame when Sam Malinski found the back of the net on a slap shot. This was a much-needed bounce-back for Saros as he carried a five-game losing streak into Saturday's contest. During this skid, Saros held a poor .881 save percentage with a hefty 3.91 GAA. Fantasy managers should expect Justus Annunen to get the starting nod on Sunday evening against the New Jersey Devils. Saros will likely face the Florida Panthers in his next start on Tuesday evening.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will protect the crease for Finland against Team USA on Thursday in the 4 Nations Face-Off. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen of the Buffalo Sabres will serve as his backup, while Kevin Lankinen of the Vancouver Canucks has been scratched for the contest. Saros has helped Finland secure a couple of silver medals at the World Championships, but he has struggled in the NHL this season. The 29-year-old has posted a disappointing .899 save percentage with an 11-23-6 record. He boasts four shutouts and has a 2.95 goals-against average. Finland is missing several of its top defensemen at the tournament, so Saros will likely face a very busy night against the USA's offense led by Jack Eichel and Auston Matthews.
According to Brooks Bratten of the Nashville Predators, goaltender Juuse Saros (illness) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Bratten noted that the goaltender was feeling under the weather and was unable to participate in the team's morning skate. Justus Annunen was in the starter's crease during the team's skate and will likely be given the starting nod on Friday evening. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Saros' status leading up to their contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday evening. If he was still unable to play, the team would likely promote either Magnus Chrona or Matthew Murray from Milwaukee. Both have not seen NHL action during the 2024 season. Saros has held a 2-2 record over his last five outings with a .874% SV and a 3.48 GAA.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros backstopped his team to a 3-0 victory against Vancouver on Friday, posting his fourth shutout of the campaign with 27 saves. Two of the shutouts have come in Saros' most recent six starts. Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck (5) is the only goalie with more shutouts this season. Saros has performed well for most of the campaign, but the team's struggles have left him with a 9-16-6 record. He has allowed 2.72 goals with a .906 save percentage. We should see a head-to-head clash between Saros and Hellebuyck on Tuesday. Nashville will likely use Justus Annunen between the sticks when the team concludes a back-to-back on Saturday versus Calgary.
Juuse Saros Piles More Misery On Rangers With Shutout Performance
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros registered a 25-save shutout against the New York Rangers in Tuesday's 2-0 win. With Saros sharp throughout the night, the Rangers suffered their 11th defeat in 14 games. Saros and the Predators have also had a rocky ride in 2024-25, and the Finnish netminder hadn't won any of his previous eight starts. It was the third shutout of the season for Saros, which ties a league-high, but his record stands at a disappointing 7-15-5. Saros has allowed 2.63 goals with a .911 save percentage. His lack of wins will frustrate fantasy managers, but Saros' numbers in other categories have remained top-notch during a challenging season.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros stopped 23 of the 24 shots he faced during Saturday's victory over the high-flying Winnipeg Jets. The Predators dominated play through most of the evening as Saros' lone blemish came in the second frame off a wrist shot from Adam Lowry. Over his past six starts, Saros has posted a stellar 1.67 GAA with a .944 SV% despite holding a modest 3-2-1 record. Even though Nashville has yet to find its footing this season, Saros has consistently put them in situations to win games. Despite the low win total, fantasy managers should continue to start Saros in any matchup, given his excellent ratios when facing hefty shot totals. His next start is tentatively lined up for Monday evening against the New Jersey Devils.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros stopped all 26 shots he faced en route to defeating the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday evening. This victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Saros. In addition, this was his second shutout of the young campaign. The 29-year-old now sits with an underwhelming 4-7-1 record but a solid .911 SV% and a 2.61 GAA. Even though the Predators have fallen below expectations through the first month of the season, fantasy managers should continue to lock Saros in their lineup as he is putting them position to win on a daily basis. His next start is tentatively lined up on Monday evening when he will face high-scoring Colorado Avalanche.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros recorded 33 saves as the team finally got its first victory of the season on Tuesday by beating Boston 4-0. Entering Tuesday, Nashville was 0-5-0 for the season, even losing four contests at home. But things finally clicked for the team on Tuesday, as there were four different goal-scorers, and Saros showed off top form with his 24th career shutout. Despite the team's struggles, Saros has actually logged a decent 2.89 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. He now sits on a 1-4-0 record and should start to improve steadily, as the Predators are simply too good to remain at the bottom of the league table.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros (lower body) is in danger of missing Thursday's season opener against the Dallas Stars. He's battling a lower-body injury and is currently considered day-to-day. Saros has been among the NHL's top goalies for several years, and Nashville is weaker in every game without him. Career backup Scott Wedgewood will be in line for a start on Thursday if Saros can't go, while Matt Murray has been summoned from the AHL to work as the backup. Wedgewood is fresh off a stint with the Stars, having posted a 53-28-16 record with the team across three seasons. He has won one of four career starts against them.
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.

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.

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.

He broke a tie with Tomas Vokoun, and Pekka Rinne (60) is now the only man in front of him.

In 30 appearances, Saros has produced a 2.91 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will face the Winnipeg Jets in his 16th start of the season on Sunday. Things haven't gone well for Saros in 2023-24, with the Finnish netminder posting a 6-9-0 record, but he heads into Sunday's contest with some momentum after winning back-to-back outings. Saros allowed five goals in total in meetings with Colorado and Calgary, improving his goals-against average to 3.13. He holds a .894 save percentage, which is by far the worst Saros has had in his career. The Jets have been hot lately and boast five wins from the last six head-to-head clashes, so this is a very difficult matchup for Saros.
