Saros was not available for the Predators game in Chicago on Sunday but will at least be available to backup on Tuesday. Saros has been red-hot as of late but Pekka Rinne is coming off of a 27-save performance in a win on Sunday, so it's unclear who Nashville will turn to.
Saros has missed the last seven games with an upper-body injury but will at least serve as the Predators backup on Thursday. While Saros was out, Pekka Rinne went 2-4-1 with a .879 SV%.
Saros was forced to leave Tuesday's game vs. the Hurricanes and missed Wednesday's practice. Head coach John Hynes called him day-to-day with an upper-body injury, so look for Pekka Rinne to start Thursday.
