Saros is expected to take the crease after easily winning Nashville's opening game vs San Jose 4-1 last week in Prague. The Finish star stopped 30 of 31 shots (.968 SV%) as the Predators handled the Sharks easily. Nashville enters the game on a two-game winning streak and will hope to continue their early season success as they return to hockey on North American soil.
Unsurprisingly, Saros will start the Predators' season opener vs. the Sharks in Prague, Czech Republic. Saros is coming off of a career-high 67 starts, going 38-25-3 with a 2.64 GAA and .918 SV%. Saros dominated the Sharks last season, going 3-0-0 with a 0.33 GAA, .986 SV% and two shutouts.

Saros suffered a lower-body injury on Tuesday and will miss at least the final two games of the regular season. Connor Ingram has been recalled and will serve as their No.2 behind David Rittich until Saros is back. His injury is an obvious concern, as his availability for the postseason is now in question.
