Jost has played 10 of 13 games for the Predators this season and will draw back into the lineup on Monday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 27-year-odl is averaging 12:22 time-on-ice and has one point (1G / 0A) this season.
The Predators have had an inconsistent 5-6-2 start to the 2025-26 season but have seen glimpses of promising goaltending from Saros, who will likely return to the crease on Monday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 30-year-old Saros was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 33 of 35 shots (.943 SV%) in a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames. He has a 2.79 GAA and .905 SV% in 11 games this season (5-4-2). The Predators enter Monday's contest as -117 home favorites against a Canucks team that has struggled at times offensively (2.69 goals per game).
Fedor Svechkov returns to Nashville's lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, returning Jost to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old Jost has one point (1G / 0A) and a -3 plus/minus in 10 games this season.
Tyson Jost will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers, allowing Svechkov to re-enter the lineup. The 22-year-old Svechkov has struggled in his second NHL season, recording zero points, 19 shots, and a -5 plus/minus through nine games.
Blankenburg made his season debut for Nashville on October 18th, recording a +1 plus/minus in 12:04 time-on-ice, but has been sidelined since. The 27-year-old Blankenburg played a career-high 60 games with Nashville last season and recorded 16 points (4G / 12A). He draws into the lineup for an injured Adam Wilsby (lower body).
Wilsby was limited to only 5:36 time-on-ice in Nashville's 5-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, exiting the game with a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old has two points (0G / 2A) and is averaging 17:49 time-on-ice through 11 games this season.
The Predators are off to a 4-2-0 start to the 2025-26 season and will turn to Saros between the pipes on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Despite the team's unspectacular start to the season, they have received adequate goaltending from Saros, who is coming off a poor 2024-25 season. The 30-year-old goalie has a 2.68 GAA and .909 SV% in eight games this season (4-2-2). Still, Nashville enters Tuesday's game as +138 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay team seemingly turning a corner, having won two straight after losing six of its first seven (1-4-2).
