Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Sturdy performance in win
Annunen turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Seattle.
Annunen has now won consecutive games, and he's likely earned himself a larger share of the netminding workload as a result of Alexandar Georgiev's early-season struggles. Annunen has posted a 2-1-0 record, .900 save percentage and 2.45 GAA across four appearances. The 24-year-old's next chance to extend his win streak to three will come in a road matchup with Utah on Thursday.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Allows one goal in win
Annunen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Annunen made his first start of the season after appearing in relief in the first two games of the year. The 24-year-old had little trouble with the Sharks, allowing just a William Eklund power-play goal in the first period. Annunen has given up five goals on 43 shots over his three appearances, going 1-1-0. The Avalanche's slow start is well-documented, but each of Annunen and Alexandar Georgiev have won their most recent outing. The Avalanche visit the Kraken on Tuesday.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Draws start Sunday
Annunen will be in the blue paint for Sunday's road contest against the Sharks, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Takes loss in relief appearance
Annunen allowed two goals on 13 shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
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.

Annunen allowed two goals on four shots after replacing Alexandar Georgiev in the third period of Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Georgiev has appeared in at least 62 games in each of the last two seasons and posted a 3.02 GAA and .897 save percentage in 2023-24. Annunen has only 19 regular-season games of NHL experience, but he sports a career record of 10-5-2 with a 2.68 GAA and a .911 save percentage.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Returning in backup role
Annunen (illness) will back up Alexandar Georgiev on Friday for Game 3 versus Winnipeg, per Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette.
Annunen missed the first two games of the series with an illness, but he's now feeling well enough to sit on the bench as Georgiev's backup Friday. Annunen went 8-4-1 with a 2.25 GAA and a .928 save percentage in 14 regular-season appearances.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Unavailable against Jets
Annunen (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Winnipeg on Tuesday, Kyle Fredrickson of The Denver Gazette reports.
Annunen probably had a decent chance to start Game 2, but his continued illness will see him once again missing from the bench. In the meantime, Ivan Prosvetov will serve as the No. 2 option behind Alexandar Georgiev against the Jets on Tuesday. If Georgiev struggles again, after giving up seven goals on 23 shots in Game 1, Annunen could challenge for the starting gig, provided he's healthy enough to play in Game 3 on Friday.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Still battling illness
Annunen (illness) was not at practice Monday, John Lu of TSN reports, raising doubts regarding his availability against Winnipeg for Game 2 on Tuesday.
If Annunen were 100 percent, there is certainly a chance he would be between the pipes for Game 2 after starter Alexandar Georgiev gave up seven goals on 23 shots versus the Jets on Sunday. If Annunen can't at least serve as the backup Tuesday, look for Arvid Holm to dress as the No. 2 option behind Georgiev.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Earns win in finale
Annunen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Thursday's 5-1 victory over Edmonton.

The 24-year-old netminder went 4-2-0 in his final seven games, posting a .926 save percentage. He'll finish the year 8-4-1 with an impressive .928 save percentage and 2.25 GAA. While Alexandar Georgiev figures to be Colorado's primary starter in the playoffs, Annunen has proven to be a more than capable backup option.

Annunen will defend the home crease versus Edmonton on Thursday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Needed in relief Saturday
Annunen stopped eight of 11 shots after replacing Alexandar Georgiev late in the first period of Saturday's 7-0 loss to the Jets.
The 24-year-old backup netminder didn't have much more success than Georgiev did as the Avs sleepwalked their way through the afternoon contest. Annunen has been playing better that Colorado's starter of late, though, going 4-2-0 in seven outings over the last month with a 2.36 GAA and .921 save percentage. Coach Jared Bednar could have a tough decision to make in the crease when the playoffs begin.
