(Denver) Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will miss the first two games of the series against the Colorado Avalanche with a left leg injury.
Posted at 9:19 p.m.
Coach John Hynes said he hasn’t decided whether David Rittich or Connor Ingram will start Tuesday night in Denver.
Saros had to leave at the end of the game last Tuesday against Calgary.
He finished second in the NHL with 38 wins this season.
“He’s kind of the backbone of the team,” Hynes said. He’s one of the elite in the league and he always gives us a chance to win.
“He can help you out with a really big save. »
Recovered from knee surgery, Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog will play his first game since March 14.
Colorado has shown the best record in the West.
