Saros allowed two goals on 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Kraken. The third goal was an empty-netter.
Saros turned in a strong effort, but the same can't be said for his teammates, who couldn't convert on any of their 24 shots. The 29-year-old has been in net all four times the Predators have been shut out this season, and this was also his second loss of the campaign against the Kraken. Saros is down to 5-9-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 16 outings. The 29-year-old Finn could be in line for a tough matchup when the Predators host the Jets on Saturday.

Rotowire
Saros stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Predators' Juuse Saros: Gets no help in loss
Rotowire
Saros stopped 24 of 26 shots in Monday's 3-0 loss to the Kings.
The Predators managed only 16 shots on the night, so while Saros played well, he had no margin for error. The 29-year-old goalie's 3-6-1 record through 10 starts owes more to his struggling offense than his own performance. Although his 2.83 GAA and .902 save percentage through 10 outings this season isn't ideal, he's being dragged down by two rough starts -- the 29-year-old has allowed three or fewer goals in his other eight appearances.
