Annunen is slated to start at home against Colorado on Sunday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Annunen made his first start of the season Thursday, stopping 25 of 31 shots en route to a 6-0 loss to Boston. He had a 10-12-2 record, 2.68 GAA and .906 save percentage in 28 regular-season outings with Nashville in 2025-26. Colorado ranks second in goals per game with 4.27 this season, so this figures to be a challenging assignment for Annunen.
