Can't invoke miracle in finale Saros made 35 saves in a 5-4 loss to Anaheim on Thursday.

Impact Yes, Saros has had the worst stats of his career this year, but there are only so many miracles that a strong goalie can invoke in front of a team defense as abysmal as the Preds showed this season. He finished 28-21-8 with a 3.13 GAA and .894 save percentage. But those aren't that bad in an era when ".900 is the new .915 or .920", according to fellow netminder, Darcy Kuemper. Saros will get the rest he needs over the summer. Here's hoping the Preds get what they need to tighten things up in front of him for 2026-27.

Protecting home goal Thursday Saros will guard the home goal versus the Ducks on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Saros will get the nod in the season finale after taking a seat for the Predators' last two contests. He has had the worst year of his career with a 3.13 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 59 appearances. Saros will face a Ducks team that is still hungry to secure better positioning in the postseason, so this won't be an easy matchup.

Concedes four in loss Saros stopped 23 of 27 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Saros has dropped his last two starts, going 0-1-1 with a 2.89 GAA and an .891 save percentage in that span. The 30-year-old goaltender is ending the season on a sour note, posting a save percentage under the .900 mark in four of his past five appearances while delivering a 3.30 GAA over that stretch.

Guarding the net Thursday Saros will defend the road goal in Utah on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Saros is 5-1-1 in his last seven starts. Overall, the Finnish netminder is 28-20-8 with a 3.12 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 57 appearances in 2025-26. The Mammoth are generating 3.30 goals per contest, ninth in the league this season.

Tagged with SO loss Monday Saros stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.

Impact Saros was beaten in the first and second periods, each time by wristers courtesy of Joel Armia and Scott Laughton, but he ended up being tagged with the loss after the shootout. Despite the outcome, this was a step in the right direction for Saros, who was coming off three straight games in which he had posted a save percentage below the .900 threshold. It remains to be seen whether Saros or Justus Annunen will get the nod for the second leg of the back-to-back set against the Ducks on Tuesday.

Starting in Southern California Saros will be between the pipes Monday in Los Angeles, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Saros has won back-to-back games and five of his last six, but he's surrendered at least three goals in all but one of those contests. This will be the Finnish netminder's second start in Los Angeles in less than a week -- he made 29 saves on 33 shots during a 5-4 shootout win over the Kings on Thursday. Saros has fared well against the Kings throughout his career, going 8-3-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 12 regular-season games against them.

Grabs another key win Saros stopped 24 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Saros was spotted a 3-0 lead after one period, but he couldn't make that one stick. The Sharks rallied to tie the game early in the third period, but the Predators bounced right back after Saros locked down the net. This was his fifth win in his last six outings, a span in which he's given up 19 goals on 190 shots. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 28-20-7 with a 3.14 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 56 starts. The ratios matter far less than the victories for Saros and the Predators at this stage of the season, and he'll get the bulk of the starts in net as the team makes a final push to get into the playoffs. The road trip continues with another huge matchup against the Kings on Monday, a team Saros defeated in the shootout Thursday.

Starting pivotal game Saturday Saros will patrol the road crease in Saturday's clash against the Sharks, per Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville.

Impact Saros will be called upon in Saturday's high-stakes game, as both the Predators and Sharks sit at 79 points in the Western Conference standings, with the latter currently occupying the conference's second Wild Card spot. Overall, Saros has a 27-20-7 record, a 3.14 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 55 appearances this season. The 30-year-old netminder has some solid momentum leading into the weekend slate with a 4-1-0 record and a .902 save percentage over his last five outings. He offers solid value for fantasy managers in Saturday's clash against San Jose's offense, which ranks 18th in the NHL with 3.05 goals per game this season.

Shines in long shootout Saros stopped 29 of 33 shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact Saros squandered a three-goal lead at one point, allowing the game to get to a shootout. He stopped all eight attempts by the Kings to make up for his earlier struggles with a key win in the playoff race. Saros has won four of his last five outings, though he hasn't played more than two games in a row in that stretch. He's up to 27-20-7 with a 3.14 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 55 outings on the year. The Predators' road trip continues Saturday in San Jose in another pivotal contest against the surging Sharks.

Tending twine against Kings Saros will patrol the crease on the road versus Los Angeles on Thursday, per NHL.com.

Impact Saros has been playing well over his last five outings, posting a 3-1-1 record and 2.89 GAA. With 26 victories so far this year, the 30-year-old netminder should still have enough time to reach the 30-win mark before the end of the campaign. If he does, it will be the fourth time in the last five years that Saros has reached that threshold.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Beaten four times in loss Saros stopped 28 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Montreal.

Impact Saros saw his three-game winning streak end abruptly, and this was the first time he allowed at least four goals since Feb. 4, when he gave up six goals in a 6-5 defeat to the Wild. Saros was coming off posting a save percentage north of .900 in four of his previous five starts before this game, so this was clearly a step in the wrong direction for the 30-year-old goaltender.
