Predators' Juuse Saros: Tough afternoon to close preseason
Saros made 20 saves in Saturday's 6-0 preseason loss to the Hurricanes.
Half the goals against Saros came on power plays, as the Predators got thoroughly outclassed by the defending Stanley Cup champions. The 31-year-old netminder has won at least 20 games in six straight seasons, but he's coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he posted a career-worst 3.16 GAA and an .894 save percentage.

Saros earned a 28-22-8 record with a 3.16 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 59 appearances with the Predators during the 2025-26 regular season. He is expected to get a heavy workload again in the 2026-27 campaign.

He was relatively effective during Sunday's preseason opener while playing the entire game, and he'll likely see most of the playing time in the crease once again during the 2026-27 regular season.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Can't invoke miracle in finale
Saros made 35 saves in a 5-4 loss to Anaheim on Thursday.
Yes, Saros has had the worst stats of his career this year, but there are only so many miracles that a strong goalie can invoke in front of a team defense as abysmal as the Preds showed this season. He finished 28-21-8 with a 3.13 GAA and .894 save percentage. But those aren't that bad in an era when ".900 is the new .915 or .920", according to fellow netminder, Darcy Kuemper. Saros will get the rest he needs over the summer. Here's hoping the Preds get what they need to tighten things up in front of him for 2026-27.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Tagged with SO loss Monday
Saros stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.
Saros was beaten in the first and second periods, each time by wristers courtesy of Joel Armia and Scott Laughton, and he ended up being tagged with the loss after the shootout. Despite the outcome, this was a step in the right direction for Saros, who was coming off three straight games in which he had posted a save percentage below the .900 threshold. It remains to be seen whether Saros or Justus Annunen will get the nod for the second leg of the back-to-back set against the Ducks on Tuesday.

This will be the Finnish netminder's second start in Los Angeles in less than a week -- he made 29 saves on 33 shots during a 5-4 shootout win over the Kings on Thursday. Saros has fared well against the Kings throughout his career, going 8-3-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 12 regular-season games against them.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Grabs another key win
Saros stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.
Saros was spotted a 3-0 lead after one period, but he couldn't make that one stick. The Sharks rallied to tie the game early in the third period, but Saros locked down the net as the Predators bounced right back with another three unanswered goals. This was his fifth win in his last six outings, a span in which he's given up 19 goals on 190 shots. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 28-20-7 with a 3.14 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 56 starts. The ratios matter far less than the victories for Saros and the Predators at this stage of the season, and he'll get the bulk of the starts in net as the team makes a final push to get into the playoffs. Nashville's road trip continues Monday with another huge matchup against the Kings, whom Saros defeated in a shootout Thursday.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Tending twine against Kings
Saros will patrol the crease on the road versus Los Angeles on Thursday, per NHL.com.
Saros has been playing well over his last five outings, posting a 3-1-1 record and 2.89 GAA. With 26 victories so far this year, the 30-year-old netminder should still have enough time to reach the 30-win mark before the end of the campaign. If he does, it will be the fourth time in the last five years that Saros has reached that threshold.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Beaten four times in loss
Saros stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Montreal.
Saros saw his three-game winning streak end abruptly, and this was the first time he allowed at least four goals since Feb. 4, when he gave up six goals in a 6-5 defeat to the Wild. Saros was coming off posting a save percentage north of .900 in four of his previous five starts before this game, so this was clearly a step in the wrong direction for the 30-year-old goaltender.
