Saros stopped 29 of 30 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Saros put in a solid performance in the season finale. The 29-year-old won two of his last three starts in 2024-25, but he had the fewest wins (20) among all goalies to make at least 50 appearances. Saros concludes the season 20-31-6 with a 2.98 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 58 appearances. If he's up to it, Saros would likely be Finland's top option in goal for the 2025 IIHF World Championship after representing his country in the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Saros is expected to start at home against Dallas on Wednesday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Saros will attempt to rebound after allowing six goals on 35 shots in a 7-3 loss to Utah on Monday. He has a 19-31-6 record, 3.02 GAA and .894 save percentage over 57 appearances in 2024-25. Dallas ranks third in goals per game with 3.38, but the Stars might rest players as they prepare for the playoffs.

Saros saved 29 of 35 shots on net in Monday's 7-3 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Saros' struggles Monday night were spread throughout the game as he allowed two goals in all three periods of the contest. With the loss, Saros has a 19-31-6 record with a 3.02 GAA and a .894 save percentage in 57 appearances this season. He's lost four of his last five outings and has allowed 21 goals in that span. However, if he's elected to start the final game of the season for Nashville, he'll still have the opportunity to reach the 20-win mark for the fifth consecutive season. Regardless, the 29-year-old netminder will quickly want to put this season behind him and aim toward a bounceback in the 2025-26 season.

Saros is coming off a 39-save effort in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah. He has a 19-30-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.96 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 56 appearances this season. Utah is tied for 20th in the league with 2.90 goals per game in 2024-25.

Saros stopped 39 of 42 shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Saros snapped a three-game losing streak, during which he gave up 12 goals, with this strong performance. The Predators erased a two-goal deficit, and while they couldn't hold a lead for long in the third period, Saros was sharp late and also stopped all three shootout attempts. He's up to 19-30-6 with a 2.96 GAA and an .895 save percentage over 56 outings. This will go down as Saros' worst full year in the NHL, though the 29-year-old could still get a couple more games to try to finish on a high note. The Predators visit the Golden Knights on Saturday.

Saros has lost three consecutive games, giving up 12 goals on only 64 shots (.813 save percentage). Saros is 18-30-6 with four shutouts, a 2.97 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 55 appearances this season. Utah is tied for 20th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.87 goals per game in 2024-25.

Saros stopped 15 of 17 shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Saros has dropped three straight starts. He's gotten the nod in just four of the Predators' last seven games, and he hasn't gone more than three games in a row since Feb. 25 through March 1. This has given Justus Annunen a chance to prove his long-term value to Nashville, though Saros is signed through 2032-33 on an extension that kicks in next season. This year has been a lost one for Saros, who is 18-30-6 with a 2.97 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 55 appearances. The Predators' next game is at home Tuesday versus the Islanders.

Saros will patrol the home crease against Montreal on Sunday, according to Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Saros got the hook from Tuesday's 8-4 loss to Columbus after allowing seven goals on 26 shots. He has lost his last two outings, allowing 10 goals on 47 shots. Saros has posted a record of 18-29-6 with four shutouts, a 2.99 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 54 appearances this season. Montreal is tied for 15th in the league with 3.00 goals per game in 2024-25.

Saros allowed seven goals on 26 shots playing the first two periods of Tuesday's 8-4 loss to Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Columbus sits in the NHL's top-10 for goals scored this season, so a big game like this really shouldn't be a surprise. And Saros can't really be faulted with a young team in front of him that seemed to pile on self-inflicted wounds. He's had a rough season, but he's an elite netminder. Saros will be a better option in future seasons.

Saros will defend the crease against the Jackets on the road Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Saros has struggled this season, managing just 18 wins in 53 appearances this year while posting a career-worst 2.89 GAA. This will be the first time since the 2020-21 campaign that Saros fails to reach the 30-win mark. With the Preds eliminated from postseason contention, the club could decide to split the workload between Saros and Justus Annunen down the stretch in order to get a better look at the 25-year-old Annunen.
