Posted by | Jun 11, 2019 | ,

The Nashville Predators already stated that Juuse Saros will be their next goalie. He and fellow Finnish goalie Pekka Rinne form one of the best 1-2 punches in goal in the NHL.

However, Saros has been slowly working his way into the net. He went 17-10-2 with a 2.62 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. Saros also registered three shutouts this...
