Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced Monday that the club has recalled goaltender Juuse Saros from the American Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals. Additionally, the club has reassigned goaltender Anders Lindback to Milwaukee.
Saros is 2-3-1 for the Predators this season and made a career-high 43 saves in Tuesday's win at Dallas. He's 2-0-1 in his last three starts with a .933 save percentage, allowing only eight goals on 120 shots against. Saros made two appearances for the Admirals over the weekend, picking up the victory in overtime on Saturday in a 23-save performance against Manitoba.
Originally a fourth-round (99th overall) draft pick by the Preds in 2013, Saros holds an 12-12-4 career record in the NHL with a .914 save percentage. The Forssa, Finland native recorded his first NHL shutout on Dec. 30, 2016 at St. Louis and appeared in two games for Nashville in last season's Stanley Cup Final. Saros is 43-14-1 in 59 career games at the AHL level with a 2.31 goals-against average and .918 save percentage and was named to the AHL All-Star Classic in 2016-17.
