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.
Loses to Golden Knights
Annunen stopped 24 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
ANALYSIS
Annunen has allowed 15 goals across his last three outings, going 1-2-0 in that span. The 25-year-old has been splitting the crease with Juuse Saros lately since the Predators have nothing to play for but pride in a terrible 2024-25 campaign. Annunen is 15-15-1 with a 3.18 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 34 outings between Nashville and Colorado this season. If the workload pattern continues, Saros could face Utah on Monday, and Annunen may draw a tough matchup against the Stars on Wednesday in the Predators' regular-season finale.

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.
