25-Year-Old GoalieG
Nashville Predators
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
$Signed a two-year contract extension with the Avalanche in March of 2024. Traded to Nashville in November of 2024.
Gets little help in Philly
GNashville Predators
April 1, 2025
Annunen made 16 saves in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.
ANALYSIS
Nashville outshot Philly 29-18 on the night, but Annunen had little chance on either puck that got past him, while the Preds' offense had trouble solving Ivan Fedotov in the other crease. Annunen hasn't picked up a win since March 8, going 0-4-1 over his last five starts despite a sharp 2.24 GAA and .907 save percentage, as Nashville's skaters backed him with only four goals combined over that span.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working in starter's crease
GNashville Predators
March 20, 2025
Annunen took the starter's crease Thursday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports, indicating he'll likely tend the twine at home against the Ducks.
ANALYSIS
Annunen will likely get the nod versus Anaheim ahead of starter Juuse Saros. The 25-year-old Annunen is coming off a 20-save overtime defeat to the Kings on March 15 in which he conceded just one goal. With an upcoming back-to-back, Annunen and Saros figure to split the crease against the Maple Leafs and Blues on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
