NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators have signed goaltender Juuse Saros to a four-year, $20 million contract. He went 21-11-1 in 36 games with career bests in wins, 35 starts, a 2.28 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage. He finished third in save percentage among NHL goalies who played at least 25 games and fifth in goals-against average. Saros helped Nashville earn a seventh straight playoff berth as he finished the season going 18-6-1 over his final 26 games. Saros was selected to the NHL’s All-Rookie Team in 2017-18 when he led first-year goalies in goals-against average (2.45), save percentage (.925) and shutouts (three).
