Predators' Juuse Saros: Struggles against Oilers
Saros allowed six goals on 43 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.
Saros was unable to hold off the Oilers' best players -- Connor McDavid had a hat trick and Leon Draisaitl put up a goal and two assists. The 30-year-old Saros has gone 3-8-1 with a 3.49 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 13 career contests against the Oilers, who remain a troublesome test for him. This defeat continued his recent pattern of alternating wins and losses, which has held true over the last six games, though this was one of his poorest performances of the campaign. He's now at a 16-14-3 with a 3.03 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 33 starts. The Predators return home to face the Islanders on Thursday, who are coming off a 9-0 shellacking of the Devils on Tuesday.

Oilers' Connor Ingram: Back on track with win
Ingram stopped 24 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Predators.
Ingram had allowed nine goals on 61 shots over his last two outings, both losses. He was better in this one, keeping the Predators off the board until they scored twice in a 15-second span during the third period, though the Oilers' lead was never in real danger. Ingram is now 3-2-0 on the season, and he's done enough to at least earn a split of the crease with Calvin Pickard while Tristan Jarry (lower body) is on long-term injured reserve for at least the next week. The Oilers' next game is Thursday in Winnipeg, and it's not yet clear which netminder will get the nod for that one.

Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Takes loss against Toronto
Bobrovsky made 19 saves in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
