It's also indicative of instability between the fibula and tibia, meaning the entire ankle won't support his weight and he'll have no ability to push off to get across the net.
That's pretty much the end of Saros this year, and probably the Preds as well. Sucks to get an injury like that a few days before the playoffs begin.

I did a medial sprain of my ankle last August playing soccer and wasn't able to properly do a push off to slide in butterfly until about March. I lost so much joint flexibility. It's a really bummer to get anything beyond a basic lateral sprain of the ankle if you're a goalie. Really sucks for Saros.
