Predators' Scott Wedgewood: Loses to former team
Scott Wedgewood surrendered four goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.While the Nashville Predators' new-look offense controlled play pretty well, the Stars were opportunistic against their former teammate, striking four times in the second period. Wedgewood got the Opening Night assignment because Juuse Saros (lower body) was unavailable. Depending on the length of Saros' absence, Wedgewood may have some short-term fantasy appeal, but he was roughly average last season with a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage over 32 appearances.

Over 32 regular-season appearances with the Stars last year, he posted a 16-7-5 record, 2.85 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Predators' Scott Wedgewood: Shaky again Wednesday
Scott Wedgewood stopped just 11 of 15 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 preseason win over the Hurricanes.While Nashville's offense dominated play and built a 3-0 lead midway through the first period, Wedgewood wasn't exactly sharp on the limited shot volume he faced. The 32-year-old goalie was brought in this offseason to provide a steady veteran backup to Juuse Saros, but Wedgewood has coughed up 10 goals on only 38 shots in two exhibition outings for the Preds. If his struggles continue into the regular season, Magnus Chrona or Matt Murray could get a look as Saros' understudy instead.
