Predators' Juuse Saros: Outdueled in loss Sunday

Saros stopped 21 of 22 shots in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Analysis:

Saros had a strong outing, but he was outdueled by Connor Hellebuyck, who pitched a 42-save shutout for Winnipeg. Saros drops to 2-1-1 on the season with a .965 save percentage. While he doesn't see much time behind workhorse starter Pekka Rinne, Saros is proving he's a reliable backup who can be trusted when called upon. The youngster is worth the spot start whenever he gets the nod.
