Saros will guard the home goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Saros' three-game winning streak came to an end Saturday when he allowed six goals on 38 shots versus the Hurricanes. Tuesday's matchup is even tougher, as the Avalanche boast the NHL's top offense and also best defense, which could make it difficult for the Predators to give Saros any scoring support.

Saros stopped 32 of 38 shots before being replaced by Justus Annunen midway through the third period of Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Shoddy defensive effort in the first 8:12 of the final frame led to the final two goals against Saros and a 6-1 deficit for the Predators, forcing coach Andrew Brunette to make a desperation switch in the crease. The six goals allowed were a season worst for Saros, snapping a three-start win streak in which he'd given up a total of five goals on 86 shots. On the season, the veteran netminder is 9-10-3 in 22 outings with a 3.04 GAA and .893 save percentage.
