Saros will protect the home goal versus the Blue Jackets, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros will predictably get the nod for Opening Night. The 30-year-old's numbers have regressed in each of the last two years, but he'll be looking to turn things around in 2025-26. Even if he doesn't fully bounce back, Saros should still get enough playing time to help fantasy managers.
