Saros to Start Must-Win Olympic Game for Finland Against Sweden

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros will make his second start for Finland on Friday against archrivals Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympics. This is a crucial, must-win game for Finland's quarter-final qualification hopes, following Saros's previous outing where he allowed three goals on 24 shots in a 4-1 loss to Slovakia on Wednesday. For the Predators this season, Saros holds a 21-17-5 record with a 3.20 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 44 appearances.
