  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Yields six goals in loss

    Saros stopped 24 of 30 shots in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Saros was unable to snap his skid, losing a fifth straight result. He's given up 23 goals over his last six games. He has won consecutive games just twice this year, and neither of those have turned into a winning streak beyond two contests. Saros dropped to 11-23-6 with a 2.95 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 41 starts. It'll likely be Justus Annunen between the pipes for Saturday's home game versus the Sabres, so Saros will be ice-cold going into his stint with Team Finland for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Starting in Chicago

    Saros will protect the road goal versus the Blackhawks on Friday, Predators Radio Host Max Herz reports.

    Saros is in a skid, having lost his last four outings while allowing a total of 13 goals on 129 shots (.899 save percentage) in that span. He'll have a favorable matchup to try to turn things around, as the Blackhawks have scored just 15 goals over their last six games, going 1-3-2 in that span.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Game slips away late Monday

    Saros stopped 34 of 38 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Senators, with Ottawa's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    The Preds kept things close through the first two periods and tied it up at 2-2 on a Jonathan Marchessault power-play tally just 47 seconds into the third period, but Nashville's defense let Saros down late and he had little chance on either puck that got past him in the final frame. The 29-year-old netminder has lost four straight starts, and over his last 10 outings, he's gone 3-6-0 with a 3.03 GAA and an .894 save percentage.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Tending twine Monday

    Saros will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Monday, according to Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.

    Saros has lost his last three outings (0-3-0), surrendering nine goals on 91 shots. He has posted a record of 11-21-6 with four shutouts, a 2.84 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 39 appearances this season. Ottawa has won four straight games, scoring 16 goals, and earned a 3-1 victory over Nashville on Dec. 7. Saros stopped 27 of 30 shots in that defeat.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Strong effort in loss

    Saros made 33 saves on 35 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Penguins. Pittsburgh's final goal was scored on an empty net.

    Saros returned to the crease after missing Friday's contest in Buffalo due to an illness. He looked good close to the net but surrendered two shots from long distance to Philip Tomasino and Sidney Crosby. The 29-year-old keeper now has an 11-21-6 record, four shutouts, a .902 save percentage and a 2.84 GAA across 39 contests this season. Saros should continue to receive the majority of the opportunities to guard Nashville's net, but as the Predators have just 43 points on the year, he will have less value in leagues that value goalie wins. The netminder's next chance to start will be at home Monday against the Senators.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Returns to crease Saturday

    Saros (illness) will guard the road goal against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

    Saros returns to action after missing Friday's 4-3 loss to Buffalo. He has posted a record of 11-20-6 with four shutouts, a 2.86 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 38 appearances this season. Pittsburgh sits 18th in the league with 2.89 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Won't suit up Friday

    Saros (illness) will not participate in Friday's game versus the Sabres, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.

    Saros is battling an illness and will be forced to miss the first half of a back-to-back. It's unclear if he'll be available for Saturday's game in Pittsburgh. Justus Annunen will start Friday versus the Sabres, and Matt Murray will serve as backup.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Under the weather

    Saros is dealing with an illness and is questionable for Friday's road clash with Buffalo, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    With the Predators heading into a back-to-back, it seems likely that Justus Annunen, who was in the starter's crease at Friday's morning skate, will guard the cage versus the Sabres in order to allow Saros to recover in time to face the Penguins on the road Saturday. If Saros isn't healthy enough to at least serve as the backup Friday, Nashville could bring up Matt Murray or Magnus Chrona from the minors.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Loses to Canucks

    Saros stopped 19 of 21 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks. The third goal was an empty-netter.

    Saros took his second loss in a row, but the blame can be placed on a lack of support from his teammates this time. The 29-year-old has gone 3-4-0 with 22 goals allowed over eight games in January, which is poor work for one of the busiest goalies in the NHL. He's now at an 11-20-6 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 38 starts this season. He'll likely split the next two games with Justus Annunen -- the Predators visit the Sabres on Friday and the Penguins on Saturday.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: First goalie off

    Saros was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Canucks.

    Saros has been inconsistent recently, as he began the month with a shutout win over Vancouver but has gone 3-3-0 with a 3.17 GAA and .882 save percentage over seven total appearances in January. He's made two starts against the Canucks this year -- including his Jan. 3 shutout victory -- and he's gone 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .944 save percentage.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Torched for five goals

    Saros gave up five goals on 35 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

    Saros has gone 2-3-0 with 20 goals allowed over his last six games. The 29-year-old netminder was lucky to avoid the loss in his last outing Tuesday versus the Sharks, but he didn't see such fortune Saturday. For the season, he's 11-19-6 with a 2.88 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 37 games, which would be his worst ratios in any full-length season in his career. He hasn't been overworked lately either -- Justus Annunen hasn't had to wait more than three games for a start since he was dealt to the Predators. Saros is too talented for fantasy managers to drop, but it's getting tough to be patient with his poor performance.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Slated to start Saturday

    Saros is expected to start on the road against Anaheim on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

    Saros allowed four goals on eight shots in Tuesday's 7-5 win against the Sharks but didn't get credited with the victory after being replaced by Justus Annunen at the start of the second period. Saros has left plenty to be desired this campaign with an 11-18-6 record, 2.81 GAA and .901 save percentage in 36 appearances. He has a 6-3-1 record, 2.78 GAA and .911 save percentage in 10 career regular-season games against Anaheim.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Pulled early Tuesday

    Saros was pulled from Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks after allowing four goals on eight shots.

    Saros struggled badly between the pipes and was lifted after allowing four goals in the first period. Justus Annunen earned the win in relief after faring much better, though one bad outing shouldn't affect Saros' role as the Predators' primary goaltender. That said, his numbers in the last few games have been trending in the wrong direction. Over his last five outings, Saros has gone 2-2-0 with a 3.42 GAA and a subpar .860 save percentage.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: First off Tuesday

    Saros will be between the pipes Tuesday versus the Sharks, per Emma Lingan of The Hockey News.

    Saros will make his 36th appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- he owns an 11-18-6 record, .904 save percentage and 2.72 GAA. The Finnish netminder has allowed exactly two goals in back-to-back wins against the Blackhawks and Wild. The Sharks on the second half of a back-to-back -- they lost 6-3 to the Bruins on Monday.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Defeats Wild

    Saros stopped 27 of 29 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Wild.

    A rare outburst of offense from the Predators gave Saros ample support to earn his third win over five outings in January. The 29-year-old goalie has allowed a total of 11 goals this month while showing some improvement compared to earlier in the season. He's now 11-18-6 with a 2.72 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 35 appearances. The Predators' next game is at home versus the Sharks on Tuesday.

    Saros is coming off a 24-save performance in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over Chicago. He has a 10-18-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.75 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 34 appearances this season. Minnesota sits 18th in the league with 2.96 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Predators' Juuse Saros: Earns shootout win Thursday

    Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

    Saros bounced back after losing his previous two starts, and even though he needed a shootout to get the victory, he still found a way to get back to winning ways. The Predators' struggles on defense have hurt Saros, though. Over his last six games, he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.02 GAA and an .879 save percentage.

    Saros conceded three goals on 15 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Capitals. The fourth tally was an empty-netter.

    Nashville more than doubled Washington's shot total Saturday, but Saros wasn't given enough offensive support on home ice. The 29-year-old allowed two goals at even strength and one on the power play. Saros has surrendered at least three goals in four of his last five outings, going 1-4-0 in that span. Overall, the Finnish netminder has a 9-18-6 record, .904 save percentage and 2.78 GAA through 33 appearances.
