Saros (lower body) won't suit up in Thursday's season opener versus the Stars, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports.

Saros is battling what's believed to be a short-term injury. The Predators will have Scott Wedgewood between the pipes and Matt Murray serving as backup for Thursday's contest, with both goalies in the lineup against their former team. Saros' next chance to play is Saturday in Detroit.
