Saros gave up three goals on 21 shots in a 3-2 defeat to St. Louis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Saros has been struggling for consistency of late, going 2-3-0 despite a decent 2.42 GAA in his last five outings. With the loss, the Predators were officially eliminated from playoff contention. FOr his part, the 29-year-old netminder will miss the 30-win threshold for the first time since 2020-21, though he should still be capable of getting to 20 victories considering he is just two shy.

Saros is expected to guard the home goal versus St. Louis on Thursday, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Saros has won his past two starts while turning aside 58 of 61 shots (.951 save percentage). It's a good stretch in what's been a dreary campaign -- he's 18-27-6 with a 2.88 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 52 outings this season. The Blues are red hot, posting a 13-2-1 record over their past 16 games.

Saros turned aside 34 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor Hall spoiled his shutout bid with a power-play tally in the second period, but otherwise Saros was sharp as he recorded his 18th win of the season and the 200th of his career. The 29-year-old netminder is having a strong finish to the season, going 5-2-0 over his last seven starts with a 2.44 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Saros is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Tuesday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Saros has a 17-27-6 record, 2.92 GAA and .896 save percentage in 51 appearances in 2024-25. He stopped 24 of 26 shots en route to a 5-2 victory over Toronto in his last start Saturday. Carolina ranks eighth in goals per game with 3.24.

Saros made 24 saves in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Saros' first period was a touch rough -- the Leafs went up 2-0 by the 13:05 mark, and it looked like they might control the match. Then the Preds roared back in the second and third with five unanswered goals. Saros has scuffled this season with a 17-27-6 record, 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage. But he does have four wins in his last six starts, so maybe he's turning the corner a bit as the season goes through fantasy postseason.

Saros will start at home versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Saros and Justus Annunen have alternated starts over the last five games, and that trend will likely continue in Sunday's road game versus St. Louis in the second half of Nashville's back-to-back. The 29-year-old Saros has lost his past two outings, allowing six goals on 36 shots. The Maple Leafs have scored 12 goals during the team's three-game winning streak.

Saros stopped 18 of 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Saros has dropped his last two starts, and just when he was showing signs of being a dependable netminder, he's found himself struggling lately. Saros has given up multiple goals in each of his last six appearances, a span in which he's gone 3-3-0 with a 3.36 GAA and a subpar .862 save percentage.

Saros is slated to start against the Blues on Tuesday, per Emma Lingan of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Saros will make his 50th appearance of the campaign Tuesday -- he's sporting a 16-26-6 record, 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage. He was on the losing end of a low-scoring affair against the Ducks in his last start, which followed up a three-game winning streak. The Blues have played well lately, going 8-2-1 in their last 11 games.

Saros stopped 13 of 15 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The Predators nearly doubled up the Ducks' shot total (29-15), but the goal column didn't reflect it. Saros allowed one tally off a turnover to Troy Terry, and a little playmaking magic from Trevor Zegras to Alex Killorn produced the decisive goal. The 29-year-old Saros saw his three-game winning streak snapped despite the light workload Friday. He's at 16-26-6 with a 2.92 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 49 appearances this season. He'll likely get a breather Saturday, as Justus Annunen should start versus the Kings to close out this back-to-back set that wraps up Nashville's road trip through California.

Saros will play in goal for Friday's road game versus the Ducks, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Saros has allowed eight goals during his three-game winning streak. The 29-year-old netminder will look to keep things going against a Ducks team that has won just twice in the last six contests, scoring 21 goals in that span.
