  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: First off in Winnipeg

    Saros is set to patrol the blue paint Tuesday in Winnipeg, according to Max Herz of 102.5 The Game Nashville.

    Saros has alternated wins and losses over his last four starts, posting a 2-1-1 record, 2.71 GAA and .908 save percentage during that time. The Jets have played better of late, winning back-to-back games and five of their last seven. Saros was on the hook for a 4-1 loss in Winnipeg on Oct. 18, surrendering four goals on 24 shots in that matchup, and the Finnish netminder is 8-9-4 against the Jets over 21 career regular-season appearances.

  • Avalanche's Mackenzie Blackwood: Struggles in relief

    Blackwood allowed four goals on 15 shots in relief in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Penguins.

    Both Colorado goaltenders struggled massively in this game, as Blackwood replaced Scott Wedgewood, who allowed three goals on five shots before departing the contest in the first period. This was the third-worst performance of Blackwood this season in terms of his save percentage, and he's been inconsistent overall since the Olympic break. In seven appearances, he's gone 2-3-0 with a 3.33 GAA and an .855 save percentage.

  • Avalanche's Scott Wedgewood: Pulled early Monday

    Wedgewood was lifted in the first period of Monday's 7-2 loss to the Penguins after allowing three goals and making two saves.

    Wedgewood was pulled midway through the first period after recording more goals conceded (three) than saves made (two). However, Mackenzie Blackwood didn't fare much better, allowing four goals on 15 shots. Wedgewood and the Avs will aim to bounce back in a tough matchup against the Stars, another team that suffered a disappointing loss Monday, on Wednesday.

  • Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Makes 25 saves vs. Colorado

    Silovs stopped 25 of 27 shots in Monday's 7-2 win over the Avalanche.

    Silovs has been rotating with Stuart Skinner between the posts since the Olympic break, and Silovs has also alternating results with a 3-2-0 record over his last five. Even if that rotation isn't going to end in the near future, Silovs' performance Monday is worth highlighting since he posted a save percentage of .926 against one of the best offenses in the league. If the rotation continues, Silovs' next chance to play would come against the Jets on Sunday.
