As most know, Juuse Saros is the current starter for Nashville. The last couple seasons have been rough for Saros but with a proper defense in front of him, he's one of the best in the league. Despite being one of the shortest goalies, standing at 5'11" in the league, Saros never fails to disappoint. In 408 games, Saros has a .914 SV% and 2.68 GAA with 27 shutouts.

A few years ago, Saros nearly set a new NHL record with 64 saves in a single game, only 7 short of breaking it. This might be a bit of debate in the Nashville community, but I believe that Saros is more clutch than Rinne ever was. If you take some time to look at Saros' best saves, you'd see a lot of dives and moves only done by Olympic athletes.
