The team announced Wednesday that Saros is dealing with a lower-body injury.

Saros was not present at Tuesday’s practice at the Centennial Sportsplex because the team said it was a maintenance day. He was on the ice on Wednesday, but as a limited participant. He was away from the net during team practices and worked separately with goalkeeping coach Ben Vanderklok.

After training on Wednesday, Saros played down any injury concerns.

“It’s nothing bad,” he said. “Nothing crazy.”

He also stated that the injury occurred in the first half of Saturday’s preseason game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Saros played the first period, then Scott Wedgewood took over in the second period.

After three days without ice, Saros believes he is feeling better.

“I’m making progress,” he said. “Feel much better today than yesterday. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.”
