Annunen turned aside 35 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Stars. The 24-year-old was impressive en route to his first win since being traded to Nashville, with Lian Bichsel spoiling his shutout bid midway through the third period. Annunen was a victim of Colorado's defensive struggles earlier in the season, but in two appearances since being shipped to Nashville, he's allowed only three goals on 65 shots for a .954 save percentage while backing up Juuse Saros.

Annunen will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. Annunen lost his Predators debut last Thursday, allowing two goals on 29 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Canadiens. The 24-year-old will look to get the Predators back on track, as they have lost eight straight games (0-5-3). The Stars are a tough matchup, having won four of their last six contests with 20 goals scored over that span.

Annunen stopped 27 of 29 shots in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Canadiens. The third goal was an empty-netter with 46 seconds left in the third period. Annunen made his first appearance for his new club since being traded from the Avalanche on Nov. 30, but the 24-year-old couldn't secure the win. Annunen is expected to hold the same role he had with Colorado, and he'll operate as Juuse Saros' backup between the pipes.
