2024 Fantasy Outlook

Annunen took an impressive leap in 2023-24, especially when you strip away his first four appearances. Not that they were bad, but what came after was brilliant. Starting Feb. 29, Annunen made 10 appearances, going 7-2-0 with two shutouts and delivering a .942 save percentage. The stats weren't a fluke - in just 14 games overall, he delivered a 13.37 GSAx (goals saved above expected). The next guy on the list was Semyon Varlamov, one of the NHL's best backups. Annunen will be behind Alexandar Georgiev in 2024-25, and he could start 25 games, maybe a few more. Annunen won't replicate the stats from the end of last season, but he will likely give you a lot more than Georgiev in limited time. Dynasty managers take note - he'll be the starter in a few years. This season, Annunen will help you in dailies and when the starter struggles. Read Past Outlooks

Sharpens up Thursday

GColorado Avalanche

October 3, 2024

Annunen stopped 21 of 22 shots in Thursday's 3-1 preseason win over the Golden Knights.

ANALYSIS
Annunen had his best outing of the preseason in this road win, quieting a group mostly consisting of Vegas' NHL players. The 24-year-old has allowed seven goals on 74 shots across three preseason appearances. This may have been his last action before Opening Night, though the Avalanche will have one more preseason game at Utah on Saturday.

Has coach's confidence

GColorado Avalanche

September 18, 2024

Annunen has the confidence of head coach Jared Bednar heading into 2024-25, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

ANALYSIS
Annunen took a step forward last year with an 8-4-1 record, a 2.25 GAA and a .928 save percentage in 14 games. The 24-year-old is set to back up Alexandar Georgiev this season, with Annunen a candidate to play around 30 games. He could even push for a more even timeshare if his performance justifies a larger workload.
