Predators' Justus Annunen: Sharp in first win with Nashville
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.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Loses in team debut
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.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Hangs on for win Monday
Annunen turned aside 24 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
The Avs seemed to have the game well in hand when Casey Mittelstadt gave them a 3-0 lead midway through the third period, but Annunen had to withstand a furious comeback attempt by the Flyers over the final 10 minutes. The 24-year-old goalie is 6-3-0 through 10 appearances this season with a 2.81 GAA and an .886 save percentage, and Annunen figures to see a heavy workload while Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is on IR.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Ends team's skid
Annunen stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.
Annunen didn't have a great performance against a team that has struggled to score, but the Avalanche gave him plenty of support. He's now allowed 10 goals on his last 74 shots, but he's picked up two wins over three games in that span. Annunen is at a 5-2-0 record with a 2.64 GAA and an .893 save percentage over eight outings this season. The Avalanche's crease remains up for grabs, but Annunen has done better than Alexandar Georgiev or Kaapo Kahkonen at giving the team chances to win.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Draws start Tuesday
Annunen will tend twine in Tuesday's home matchup versus Seattle, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.
Annunen will make his eighth appearance and sixth start of the 2024-25 campaign. The Finnish netminder has posted a 4-2-0 record, .899 save percentage and 2.58 GAA. The Kraken sit 22nd in the league with 2.77 goals per game through 13 contests.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Takes loss Saturday
Annunen stopped 20 of 23 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Predators. The last two goals were empty-netters.
The Avalanche got within a goal late thanks to Nathan MacKinnon, but the Predators found the empty cage twice after that. Annunen put in a decent effort, but his four-game winning streak was snapped anyway. He's allowed seven goals on 53 shots over his last two contests, dropping to 4-2-0 with a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage across seven games (five starts) overall. Annunen has been the best of the Avalanche's goaltenders, but he's currently in a three-man rotation that also features Alexandar Georgiev and Kaapo Kahkonen. Considering the team is entertaining the idea of three goalies while running short on healthy forwards, this is a fantasy crease situation that could quickly get ugly if one of the netminders doesn't get hot soon -- all three have been on the losing end of 5-2 results in the last week. The Avalanche host the Kraken on Tuesday.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Guarding goal Saturday
Annunen will defend the road net Saturday against Nashville, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

He has a 4-1-0 record with a 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage through six outings this season. Nashville sits 30th in the league with 2.40 goals per game despite averaging the most shots on goal per game (35.0) in 2024-25.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Set to be healthy scratch Wednesday
Annunen will be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's home game against Tampa Bay, per Corey Masisak of The Denver Post.
Kaapo Kahkonen is getting the start Wednesday, while Alexandar Georgiev will serve as the backup. Annunen has a 4-1-0 record, 2.47 GAA and .905 save percentage across six appearances this season. This likely isn't a sign that he has fallen out of favor with head coach Jared Bednar. Instead, this is more of a byproduct of the Avalanche having three goaltenders on their roster.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Yields four goals in win
Annunen stopped 26 of 30 shots in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Senators.
Annunen gave up all four goals in the third period, though the Avalanche were able to score three times themselves in the final frame to keep the lead. This was Annunen's worst start of the season, but he still came away with a fourth straight win to strengthen his grip on the starting job in goal. He's 4-1-0 with a 2.48 GAA and a .905 save percentage through six appearances. The Avalanche play again Monday versus the Blackhawks, which is likely an opportunity for either Alexandar Georgiev to get his season back on track or for Kaapo Kahkonen to return from a conditioning loan to make his team debut.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Sharp again in third straight win
Annunen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah.
Annunen has started three games in a row, allowing just four goals on 79 shots in that span. The Avalanche have won all three of those contests, and it's possible that Annunen has temporarily taken over the No. 1 job between the pipes. He's 3-1-0 through five appearances, and he's yet to allow more than two goals in any outing. The Avalanche's next game is Sunday versus the Senators.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Between the pipes Thursday
Annunen will protect the visiting goal in Utah on Thursday, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.
Annunen will get another chance to wrest the No. 1 job in Colorado from Alexandar Georgiev when the Avalanche take on Utah. Annunen is 2-1-0 with a 2.46 GAA and a .900 save percentage in four appearances this season, much better than Georgiev's 1-3-0 record with a 4.98 GAA and an .810 save percentage in five games. Utah has lit the lamp on 22 occasions over seven games this season.
