Predators' Juuse Saros: Takes overtime loss in relief appearance

Saros stopped 15 of 17 shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime loss to Calgary.

Analysis:

Saros came in with his team trailing 4-1, but they promptly rattled off four consecutive second-period goals to take the lead. The young backup was unable to make that lead stand up, though, allowing a goal in the third period and another one in overtime. He has slowed down following a tremendous start to his career, but could be called upon again soon with Rinne struggling badly of late.
