Yeah, he should have had a shutout vs the Rangers too.
At this point I don't think I'd take another goalie prospect over him, super impressive.

There hasn't really been an adjustment period for him, he pretty much came over and played really well with Milwaukee right away and has played great each time he gets called up.

His shutout brings his numbers to:
3-2-1 1.16 GAA .957 save %
Time for him to get quite a few more starts. He's earned it.

He didn't have a ton of big saves to make but St. Louis had a few good chances(Fabbri and Parayko come to mind) and he did a fantastic job containing the Blues shots so very few rebounds for the defense to deal with.
I think he has a lot of people pulling for him to succeed, i'm one of them.

He has had horrible Goal support in his losses one of his losses was a 1-0 shutout and the loss vs the Rangers was a 1-1 shootout loss. In his wins the team has scored more than 4 and dominating games.

Updated stats:

Can't get enough of this kid. Absolute stud. Wonder if Poile should look into trading Pekka?

He's incredible. There were a few doubters on the Preds board last year because of his size but those of us who watched him in Milwaukee told them not to worry about it. His positioning, quickness and instincts are incredible.
He's not this good obviously, no goalie is but he's going to be a great player.
My only fear with him is that, given time and enough tape, coaches will find some weakness in him. But he's been just insane so far. Looks so calm, no wasted movement.

He has the quickest feet of any goaltender I can remember in recent history. There were at least 2 shots last night that I thought there was no way he could possibly get to, but he did it and he made it look effortless. His positioning is also really good, which I think helps make up for his size a bit. The only goal that beat him he was hopelessly screened and just couldn't see the shot whatsoever.

the way Rinne is playing, its not going to be anytime soon. Gonna be a while till Saros is a starter
Eh, I don't know, Rinne was incredibly inconsistent this year. I'd say Saros was the better goaltender overall this regular season.

So, is the feisty little Finn called Juuse Saros (what a strange dwarf kind of a name...) sitting as a backup in the PO run against the Ducks (haven't had time to check)? Or is there some other dude waiting anxiously for Rinne to drop the ball, oh, puck?

Saros is the heir apparent. He started a fair amount this year, he'll start more the next, and more the next. Then Rinne's contract is up, and we'll re-assess.
