Nashville Predators goalie Juuse Saros suffers possible injury against Calgary

Juuse Saros limped down the tunnel and to the Nashville Predators locker room Tuesday night with 6 minutes, 32 seconds left in the third period against Calgary.

The Predators goalie didn’t appear to be putting weight on his left leg when he left the game in favor of backup David Rittich.

Rittich allowed the tying goal to force overtime. The Predators, who lost 5-4, could have clinched their eighth consecutive playoff berth with a win.

Instead, they fell 5-4 in overtime, but still clinched, thanks to the Dallas Stars' shootout victory against the Vegas Golden Knights.

No immediate update was provided by the Predators concerning Saros. Predators coach John Hynes said an update probably would be made available sometime Wednesday.
