Nashville Predators News

Saros will start against the Oilers on Thursday.

The Predators will unsurprisingly turn to their franchise netminder when they welcome the Connor McDavid-less Oilers to Nashville on Thursday. Saros got stuck with the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 overtime defeat at the hands of the Lightning. The 10-year-veteran now owns a 2-4-1 record on the season along with a .905 SV%. Saros is a decent bet to get back in the win column tonight as Nashville enters action as slight favourites at -130.

Annunen will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday vs. Tampa Bay.

With Kaapo Kahkonen making his Avalanche debut and Alexandar Georgiev backing up on Wednesday, Justus Annunen finds himself as the odd man out of Colorado's goaltending trio vs. Tampa Bay. Annunen has nothing to worry about after starting the season as Colorado's best goaltender with his 4-1-0 record, 2.48 GAA and .905 SV%. He is expected to be dressed for their next contest.

Saros will start in Tampa Bay on Monday.

Saros will be back between the pipes for the Predators on Monday after Scott Wedgewood got the nod in the tail-end of their back-to-back on Saturday. After a slow start, Saros is coming off his best two games of the season, going 2-0-0 with a .968 SV% and a shutout over his last two appearances. His strong performance of late has improved his SV% and GAA on the year to .908 and 2.74, respectively. He will need to be at his best again on Monday as the Predators enter action as +115 underdogs in Tampa Bay.

Saros will start in Chicago on Friday.

Saros will make his sixth start of the season on Friday as the Predators opt to go with their number-one netminder for the front-end of their back-to-back. Saros easily had his best game of the season his last time out, stopping all 33 shots he faced in a 4-0 shutout victory over the Bruins on Tuesday. He owns a 1-4-0 record and a .903 SV% on the season. Saros draws a great matchup on Friday with Nashville being -170 road favourites in Chicago.

Barron (upper-body) is considered day-to-day.

Barron left Montreal's game Tuesday vs. New York after 20 shifts and 15:01 TOI due to an upper-body injury and did not return. The 22-year-old defender is luckily only day-to-day and will hope to return when Montreal plays St. Louis on Saturday. In 7 games played this season, Barrron has a goal and six PIMs.
