Saros stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche. - Saros was beaten twice in the second period and once more in overtime, though there wasn't much he could have done on the game-winning goal from Samuel Girard, as it was a breakaway for the Avalanche defenseman. Saros couldn't build on the 26-save shutout win he posted vs. Utah on Nov. 9, but his numbers have been very good of late.

Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Kings. - The Predators only managed 16 shots on the night, so while Saros played well, he had no margin for error.

Saros stopped 33 shots in a 4-0 shutout win over the Bruins on Tuesday. - Saros delivered his best outing of the season Tuesday and lifted the Predators to their first win of the campaign. Despite starting the new season with four straight defeats, fantasy owners who drafted Saros shouldn't be concerned by his 1-4-0 record, as the skid was more a result of the Predators' poor overall play rather than Saros struggling between the pipes. Through five outings in 2024-25, Saros owns a 2.89 GAA and a .903 save percentage. |

Saros will protect the home goal Tuesday versus the Bruins, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Saros has lost all four of his starts this season, allowing 14 goals in that span.

The 29-year-old Finn remains the Predators' top goalie despite the early struggles. He'll face a tough task Thursday, as the Oilers scored four goals on 11 shots in Saros' lone start against them last year. Edmonton has typically found success against Nashville, especially Leon Draisaitl. |

Saros allowed six goals on 34 shots in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Kraken. - Saros kept his team in the contest until the Kraken exploded for four goals in the third period, one of which was an empty-netter. Through two games, Saros sports an 0-2-0 record, 4.19 GAA and an .855 save percentage. The 29-year-old was dealing with a lower-body injury to start the campaign and missed the season-opener, so it's possible that could be attributed to his slow start. Saros' next chance to rebound will come in a home matchup against the Oilers on Thursday. |

Saros will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Seattle. - During his season debut against Detroit on Saturday, Saros stopped 19 of 21 shots in a 3-0 loss. Seattle has scored six goals in three games en route to a 1-2-0 start to the 2024-25 campaign. |

Compher tipped a point shot past Saros early in the second and the Nashville offense never responded.

Saros (lower body) will start in Saturday's road game versus the Red Wings, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Saros didn't dress for Thursday's season opener versus the Stars, but he was able to shake off the injury in short order. The 29-year-old went 35-24-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 64 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Given his heavy workload and strong performances, he is a perennial top-5 goalie for fantasy purposes. |

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.

Saros is dealing with a lower-body injury and is questionable for Thursday's home game against Dallas, per Robby Stanley of NHL.com on Wednesday. - Given that Saros hasn't been ruled out for the upcoming contest yet, his injury might not be major. The 29-year-old had an inconsistent 2023-24 regular season, posting a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 64 games, but he had an incredible 14-2-2, 2.25 GAA and .924 save percentage from Feb. 17-April 7, which played a key role in Nashville making the playoffs. Some rough patches last season aside, he's typically been a vital part of the Predators and figures to be so again in 2024-25. If he's not available Thursday, though, then Scott Wedgewood might start while Matt Murray, who was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday, is projected to be the backup netminder. |

Saros and the Predators will not travel to face the Lightning after Monday's preseason game was canceled due to Hurricane Milton. - Saros wasn't expected to feature in this contest to begin with, as it was a scheduled final tune-up for Scott Wedgewood. With the game canceled, the veteran Saros will look to Thursday's Opening Night matchup with Dallas.

Saros turned aside all 12 shots he faced during Saturday's preseason loss to the Hurricanes. - In Nashville's final preseason game, Saros was on the ice for just the first period before being replaced by Scott Wedgewood. Saros has played at least 64 regular-season games and collected at least 33 wins in each of the last three seasons, delivering a 2.73 GAA and .915 save percentage over that stretch. With an eight-year contract extension in his pocket, the 29-year-old netminder should be plenty busy again in 2024-25. |

Saros will patrol the home crease in Saturday's preseason contest against Carolina, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports. - Saros posted a 35-24-5 record with a 2.86 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 64 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Saros will protect the home goal in Saturday's preseason game versus the Lightning, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports. - Saros will make his preseason debut Saturday. The 29-year-old goalie signed an eight-year extension with the Predators this summer, cementing his place as the team's top netminder. He should once again be a workhorse in 2024-25 -- he has played no fewer than 64 games in each of the last three regular seasons. |

Saros agreed to terms on an eight-year, $61.92 million contract with Nashville, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Friday. - Saros technically can't put pen to paper until the new league year opens Monday but it seems the two sides have already worked out the details of a max-term deal for the netminder. At 29 years of age, and one season remaining on his current contract, this deal essentially will tie Saros to the Predators for the remainder of his career -- barring a future trade. Considering the Finn has hit the 60-game threshold and 30-win mark in each of his last three seasons, fantasy players can likely expect more of the same heading into the 2024-25 campaign and beyond. |

Saros permitted two goals on 12 shots in the 2-1 playoff loss to the Canucks for Game 3 on Friday. - Nashville put up 30 shots to dominate possession in the attacking zone, but Saros still ended up with the loss by virtue of the Canucks converting two of three power-play opportunities. This was the 20th career playoff appearance for Saros, who was unable to build positive momentum after the Finnish netminder put the Preds on his back for a 4-1 victory in Game 2 on Tuesday. Now faced with a 2-1 series deficit, Saros will look to shake off the most recent loss in time for a pivotal Game 4 on Sunday. |

Saros was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, indicating he'll guard the crease versus the Islanders at home. - Saros is coming off back-to-back wins in which he allowed a combined two goals on 68 shots (.971 save percentage). It's a strong turn of form for the netminder who went just 2-5-1 in his first eight appearances. Reaching the 38-win mark again this year could be difficult for Saros, especially with the slow start. |

The Rangers aren't expected to be the toughest of opponents for him though. New York is tied for the 16th-best offense with 3.13 goals per game. |

That's a far cry from his performance in 2021-22 when he was nominated for the Vezina Trophy after posting a 2.64 GAA and .918 save percentage in 67 games. Things aren't expected to get any easier for Saros on Tuesday though. Seattle is tied for ninth-place offensively with 3.46 goals per game. |

Saros will defend the visiting net against Vancouver on Saturday, Emma Lingan of the Predators' official site reports. - It has not been a great start to the year for Saros, who is 2-5-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .898 save percentage. This is not the Saros the Predators are used to over the last six seasons, as his worst save percentage has been .914, during the 2019-20 season. The Predators face Vancouver, who are 3-1-0 in their last four games and scored eight times Thursday in a win over Anaheim. |

Saros is expected to play between the pipes Thursday at home versus St. Louis. - Saros has gotten off to a slow start this season with a 1-3-1 record, 3.04 GAA, and .894 save percentage in five starts. Despite those numbers, Saros should still be considered a top goaltender, having racked up 38 wins last season while finishing third in Vezina Trophy voting. Meanwhile, the Blues are averaging just 2.40 goals per game this year, the fourth fewest in the NHL. They had the third best offense last season with an average of 3.77 goals per game, and much of that forward core from 2021-22 is still there, though they're missing one of their top forwards in Pavel Buchnevich (lower body), which will make Saros' job easier. |

He's 1-2-1 with 12 goals allowed on 116 shots through four appearances. The 27-year-old will likely continue to start most of the Predators' games -- their next one is in Columbus on Thursday. |

Saros (ankle) is starting Friday's preseason tilt against the Lightning. - Saros was eased into camp after an ankle injury kept him out of 2022 postseason. The 27-year-old posted a .918 save percentage and a 2.64 GAA through 67 games last season and should handle a bulk of the goaltending duties in Nashville again during the 2022-23 campaign.
