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

Takes loss in relief appearance

GColorado Avalanche

October 12, 2024

Annunen allowed two goals on 13 shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

ANALYSIS
Annunen was on the hook for the loss after the Avalanche covered the three goals Alexandar Georgiev gave up. The Blue Jackets' sixth tally went into an empty net. While Georgiev has struggled through two starts, Annunen has done poorly in relief, allowing four goals on 17 shots across his two games. Georgiev's salary will give him a long runway to correct things in the NHL. Still, Annunen will face competition for the backup role after Colorado plucked Kaapo Kahkonen off waivers from the Jets on Friday. Annunen showed promise last season, so don't expect the Avalanche to make any hasty decisions with the 24-year-old.

COL

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.
