Solid despite loss Saros stopped 34 of 36 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Saros held his own against a barrage of Florida shots, allowing just a power-play goal to Sam Reinhart in the second period and a Carter Verhaeghe tally in the third before the Panthers added a pair of empty-netters, leaving Saros with a third loss in four starts. The 28-year-old netminder is now 18-18-1 with a .904 save percentage and 2.94 GAA this season. The Predators are back in action Thursday on the road against Minnesota.

Impact Saros wasn't great in his last start Saturday against Arizona, surrendering three goals on just 24 shots en route to a 3-2 defeat. He'll try to return to the win column in a tough home matchup with a Florida team that's 14-7-2 on the road this year.

Downed by Coyotes Saros made 21 saves in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Arizona.
Impact Trade rumors have begun swirling around Saros, but the 28-year-old netminder doesn't seem to be distracted by them. He's allowed eight goals on 111 shots (.928 save percentage) while starting four straight games, although that follows a stretch in which he gave up five goals in four of his prior five outings. Since the beginning of December, Saros is 10-7-1 with a 2.77 GAA and .909 save percentage, respectable numbers given the quality of the roster in front of him -- the Predators are sitting fourth in the Central Division, and would be the final wild-card team in the Western Conference if the playoffs started now.

Following a six-game winning streak, Saros has now dropped three of his last four starts. He falls to 15-13-0 with a .905 save percentage and 2.94 GAA on the campaign.

Shocking loss to Stars Saros stopped 31 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Dallas.
Impact The 28-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period and was still protecting a 2-1 lead with just 15 seconds left in regulation, but the Predators' defense wilted under the pressure and Saros somehow got beaten twice before the final horn sounded. It marked the first time in NHL history that a team had scored the tying and winning goals inside the final 15 seconds of a game. Despite the stumble, Saros has been mostly outstanding in December, posting a 7-2-0 record over nine starts with a 2.17 GAA and .933 save percentage.
