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.
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.
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.

Saros joined Chris Mason as the only netminders in franchise history to register a shutout in a home opener. The 28-year-old now boasts 28 shutouts in total with the team, sitting behind only Pekka Rinne (60). It's been a mixed start to the season for Saros, as he gave up four goals versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but he has cemented his place among the elite goaltenders in the league and should have another good campaign.
Nashville Predators goalie Juuse Saros is set to be the starting goaltender in their season opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. Saros was excellent last season, posting a 33-23-7 record with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage in the 63 games he started.

Two of them have come this season, as Saros has put together a 31-22-7 record with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage.

Juuse Saros Hopes To Grab A Fourth Straight Win On Monday
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will be between the pipes Monday against Ottawa, entering the matchup on a three-game winning streak. He started his run by beating a couple of struggling teams in Anaheim and Montreal, but Saros' last win came with a hugely impressive 64-save performance against a high-flying Carolina side. The Finnish netminder has taken his record for the season to 14-10-5, and he is boasting a 2.77 goals-against average with a .918 save percentage. Another winning effort would give Saros his longest win streak since he started 2022 off with a five-game run.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros produced a very special performance Thursday against Carolina, leading the team to a 5-3 victory with a franchise-record 64 saves. He became just the fourth goaltender in NHL history with at least as many saves in a regular-season contest since 1955-56 when shots became an officially tracked stat. Saros must have been mad with himself when he had allowed three goals with only half of the game played, but he was perfect for the rest of the way and stopped 39 straight shots after that. Nashville handed Carolina only the eighth regulation defeat of the season, which makes Saros' effort even more impressive. He improved his record for the campaign to 14-10-5 and has a 2.77 goals-against average with a .918 save percentage.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros had his best game of the season Saturday, stopping 34 of 35 shots in a 2-1 victory over the Rangers. He was only beaten by Filip Chytil in the middle of the second frame after Juuso Parssinen and Mark Jankowski had put the Predators 2-0 up. Saros entered the action following a very poor start to the month which saw him give up 10 goals in three appearances. It's been a rocky ride for Saros and the Predators so far, and it's left the 27-year-old netminder with a 4-6-1 record. Saros, who has registered a 3.22 goals-against average with a .901 save percentage, will hope to win back-to-back starts for the first time this season in Tuesday's matchup against Minnesota.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will likely get the start for the NHL season opener in Prague on Friday against the San Jose Sharks. Saros was excellent in his first season as a full-time starter, posting 38 wins, a .918 SV%, and a 2.64 GAA (23.0 GSAA) in 67 games. He led the NHL in starts last season, and should see his fair share of work again this year. He seems like a reliable pick in net, something that is hard to come by. Going at a fair ADP of 41.6 makes Saros an interesting pick for those that want a higher end goalie but don't want to pay a first or second round pick. He should obviously be started against a weak Sharks offense.
Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros (lower body) will remain unavailable for Monday's Game 4 against Colorado. Nashville's No. 1 last played on Apr. 28 and it's possible that we won't see him again this season as the team is in danger of getting eliminated from the playoffs on Monday. Connor Ingram has started the last two games for Nashville and has registered a 3.71 goals-against average in the playoffs with a .879 save percentage. David Rittich started Game 1 and got chased in 15 minutes after the Avalanche exploded for five first-period goals.
