Juuse Saros- 382 Games, .916 SV%, 2.64 GAA, 191 Wins, 27 Shutouts
Saros came up as the heir apparent to the great Pekka Rinne. Saros has always kind of been in the shadow of Rinne, but quite frankly, their career numbers are very similar up to this point.
In the next two games for Saros he'll pass Tomas Vokoun for second among Predators goalies for most games played. That will give Saros 384 games as the goalie for the Predators, with Rinne sitting at 683 games as a career member of the Nashville Predators.
Saros is signed for eight more years after this season. Just doing the quick math, Saros will eventually pass Rinne for most games played in Predators history if he just averages 40 games per year over that timespan. That is being conservative and accounting for possible injuries along the way.
Saros is also just nine wins shy of 200 for his NHL career. More than likely he'll reach that mark before the season ends.
When you have faced over 11,000 shots for your career, it takes a lot to change the save percentage too much. But as of now, Saros is just a fraction under Rinne for career save percentage. Saros is at .916 while Rinne is at .917. A strong second half of the season in this department could move Saros ahead of Rinne.
Saros still has multiple years left before he comes anywhere close to Rinne in wins or shutouts, but we expect him to be here for many more years to come.
