Nashville Predators Announce Juuse Saros & Justus Annunen Roster Decisions

The Nashville Predators have placed goaltender Justus Annunen on injured reserve and confirmed Juuse Saros as the starter against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday night. With Annunen ruled out for at least seven days, the team recalled goaltender Matt Murray from the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals to serve as the backup on the road trip.

Saros is making his third straight start of the season after recording a .933 save percentage across his first two outings. Murray, who last played an NHL game in January 2024 with the Dallas Stars, could potentially make his Predators debut later this week.
