Net gains: Struggling Predators recall Saros

The Nashville Predators are shaking things up from within.

Goaltender Juuse Saros has been recalled from the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals, with Marek Mazanec heading the other way.

The move comes with Nashville having lost five of its past six games, sitting last in the Central Division with a record of 3-5-3.

One of its wins came courtesy of Saros, who was earlier recalled on an emergency basis when a bout of food poisoning tore through Nashville's locker room. All he did in that game was stop 34 of 35 shots fired by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Through seven AHL games, Saros has posted a save percentage of .929, and while starter Pekka Rinne hasn't been the Predators' main issue, the youngster might be the spark Nashville needs to turn things around.
