Predators' Juuse Saros: Protecting net Sunday

Saros will tend the twine Sunday against the Flyers, Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Saros rarely sees action in the crease, but the Preds want to give Pekka Rinne a day of rest after he was shelled during Saturday's overtime loss to the Devils, allowing five goals. The 21-year-old netminder has performed well when given the opportunity, owning a 1-1-0 record with 1.02 GAA and .965 save percentage in two starts this season. He'll face a tough task Sunday against a Philadelphia club that has averaged three goals per game on the road this season.
