3 years agoNashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will start the team's season opener on Thursday against Seattle. The 26-year-old Finn has shared the crease a number of years with Pekka Rinne, but he's all on his own now following Rinne's retirement, and fantasy managers can expect him to get a lot of action with David Rittich as his backup. Saros was a solid 21-11-1 last season with a 2.28 goals-against average, a .927 save percentage and three shutouts. The Kraken started their life in the NHL with a 4-3 loss to Vegas, showing some offensive sharpness right away, so this could be a tricky affair for Saros. Philipp Grubauer, who had 26 saves on Tuesday, is expected to remain in the Vegas crease.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
