Saros will get the starting nod on the road against the Canadiens on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Saros will make his fourth straight appearance in the crease, having gone 1-1-1 in the Predators' first three games while posting a 2.95 GAA and .907 save percentage. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, the 31-year-old Saros figures to see plenty of work to open the season.
