2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Avalanche decided to make a bold move early in the season, trading Annunen to the Predators for Scott Wedgewood, a veteran backup. Annunen wasn't able to take the starting job from a struggling Alexandar Georgiev, and that continued to be the case as he operated as backup to Juuse Saros in Nashville following the trade. Overall, Annunen had a 15-15-1 record with a 3.18 GAA and a .883 save percentage, though his numbers were slightly better with the Predators. The Finnish netminder has one more year left on his contract, so another year of backup duties is in order. He won't have a lot of fantasy appeal since he's unlikely to start more than about one game per week. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract extension with the Avalanche in March of 2024. Traded to Nashville in November of 2024.
Beaten three times
Annunen stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
ANALYSIS
Annunen was making his second start of the season -- and first since allowing five goals in a 7-4 loss to the Maple Leafs on Oct. 14 -- but settled for another loss. Firmly entrenched as Juuse Saros' backup, Annunen shouldn't have a lot of fantasy upside as a backup who's allowed eight goals on 53 shots faced through two contests in 2025-26.

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.
