  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Falls to Montreal

    Annunen allowed two goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.

    Fresh off signing a two-year extension with the Avs, Annunen turned in a solid performance Tuesday, holding the Canadiens to just a pair of first-period tallies. However, Colorado could only muster a single goal of support on the other end, sticking Annunen with his first loss in over a month -- he'd gone 4-0-0 with a .959 save percentage in his previous four starts. The 24-year-old Annunen has been sharp behind Alexandar Georgiev this season -- he's now 5-3-1 with a .926 save percentage and a 2.34 GAA on the campaign.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Signs two-year extension

    Annunen signed a two-year contract extension with Colorado on Tuesday.

    Annunen has performed well as Alexandar Georgiev's backup this season. The 24-year-old Annunen has a 5-2-1 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .926 save percentage over eight NHL outings in 2023-24. His new contract is a one-way agreement, which suggests he could occupy the No. 2 role next campaign. Annunen will start Tuesday's home matchup against the Canadiens.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Taking on Montreal

    Annunen is slated to start versus the Canadiens at home Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Annunen has been outstanding in the month of March, stringing together three straight wins while posting an impressive 1.67 GAA and .948 save percentage. He'll try to extend his personal winning streak to five games in a favorable home matchup with a Montreal team that's 13-15-8 on the road this year.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Wins fourth straight

    Annunen stopped 30 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over St. Louis.

    After allowing a pair of goals in the second period, Annunen shut the door on the Blues in the third en route to his fourth consecutive win -- the 24-year-old netminder has allowed just five goals on 121 shots in that span. Annunen improves to 5-2-1 on the year with a .926 save percentage and 2.38 GAA as he continues to see more playing time behind Alexandar Georgiev in Colorado.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Tending twine Tuesday

    Annunen will guard the road net against the Blues on Tuesday, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

    Annunen allowed two goals on 27 shots in his last start Tuesday in a 6-2 win over the Flames. The 24-year-old has been excellent in the seven games he's played with the big club, recording a .929 save percentage and a 4-2-1 record. He will have a tough test on the road against the Blues, who are 21-11-1 at home this season.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Solid in Tuesday's win

    Annunen allowed two goals on 27 shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

    Annunen won his third straight game, with his last two victories having been shutouts. The 24-year-old gave up both goals in a span of 3:22 in the first period before the Avalanche took over in the second. Annunen is up to 4-2-1 with a 2.29 GAA and a .929 save percentage over seven starts this season. Alexandar Georgiev will start Wednesday in Vancouver and figures to see a majority of the playing time down the stretch as the Avalanche jockey for positioning in the Central Division.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Between pipes Tuesday

    Annunen will guard the cage against the Flames on the road Tuesday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Annunen hasn't suffered a regulation defeat in his last three outings, though he has logged only six NHL games this season. During that trio of contests, the 24-year-old netminder is 2-0-1 with a 0.65 GAA and a .978 save percentage. Despite rumors of a goalie acquisition, the Avs stuck with Annunen as their No. 2 option behind Alexandar Georgiev.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Back with big club

    Annunen was called up from AHL Colorado on Friday, according to Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com.

    Annunen's stint in the minors lasted less than a day and merely served to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs. He has a 3-2-1 record, 2.33 GAA and .929 save percentage in six contests with the Avalanche this season.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Reassigned to minors

    Annunen (illness) was sent down to AHL Colorado on Friday, Brennan Vogt of The-Rink.com reports.

    Annunen shouldn't be expected to be in the minors for long, as he was only sent down to make him eligible for the AHL postseason. The 23-year-old netminder is undefeated in regulation in his last three NHL outings, posting a 2-0-1 record to go with an impressive 0.65 GAA, .978 save percentage and two shutouts. Despite the strong performances, Annunen figures to remain behind Alexandar Georgiev in the pecking order for Colorado.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Under the weather

    Annunen is dealing with an illness ahead of Friday's game versus Minnesota, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

    If Annunen is unable to dress against the Wild, the Avalanche will presumably need to promote a netminder from the minors to serve as Alexandar Georgiev's backup Friday. Confirmation on Annunen's status versus Minnesota may not surface until Colorado takes the ice for pregame warmups.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Sharp in second shutout

    Annunen posted a 37-save shutout in Monday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks.

    Annunen was tested a bit more in his second straight game versus the Blackhawks, but he was again up to the task. Both of his shutouts this season have been in his last two games. He's now at 3-2-1 with 14 goals allowed on 198 shots on net. While playing Chicago has helped the 23-year-old's numbers, Annunen is still a risky play against more capable competition. Alexandar Georgiev will likely continue to handle most of the workload between the pipes for the Avalanche.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Slated to start

    Annunen is on track to start between the pipes in Monday's home game versus the Blackhawks, Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now reports.

    Annunen was unbeatable in his last start Thursday against the Blackhawks, stopping all 24 shots he faced en route to a 5-0 road victory and his first career NHL shutout. He'll attempt to secure a second straight win over the same Chicago team in what will be a highly-favorable home matchup -- Chicago has been awful on the road this year, going 4-24-1.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Blanks Chicago

    Annunen stopped 24 shots in Thursday's 5-0 shutout win over the Blackhawks.

    It's the first career shutout for the 23-year-old Annunen as he picked up his second win of the season and his first since Jan. 16. Overall, Annunen's 2-2-1 with a .913 save percentage and 2.80 GAA while backing up Alexandar Georgiev this season. The Avs are back in action Saturday on the road in Nashville.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Starting in Chicago

    Annunen will protect the road net in Chicago on Thursday, according to Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

    Annunen will get his fifth start of the season. He has faced at least 30 shots in each of his four previous starts. He was at his best a week ago, making 28 saves in a 2-1 loss in Detroit. He will face the Blackhawks, who are averaging 26.4 shots on goal, 31st in the NHL.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Tough loss in Detroit

    Annunen turned aside 28 shots in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    The 23-year-old netminder took a shutout into the third period, but Dylan Larkin beat him from the low slot on a Detroit power play midway through the final frame before Patrick Kane ripped home the OT winner. It was Annunen's best effort in four starts since being recalled from AHL Colorado in mid-January, but his .898 save percentage with the Avs represents no threat to Alexandar Georgiev's playing time.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: In goal Thursday

    Annunen will protect the road goal versus the Red Wings on Thursday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

    Annunen will get his first start in a week. He's allowed four goals in each of his three NHL appearances this season, going 1-2-0. The 23-year-old is a risky fantasy play since the Red Wings have scored 20 goals over their last six games despite going just 3-2-1 in that span.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Gives up four in loss

    Annunen made 33 saves in a 6-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday. He allowed four goals.

    Annunen put up a decent effort Thursday, all things considered. Nikita Kucherov was his kryptonite -- the league's top scorer put up two goals and set up another. But Annunen has allowed four goals in each of his two starts since his call-up (both losses) and needs to tighten things up a bit to truly give the Avs a solid option as their backup.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Taking on Tampa Bay

    Annunen is slated to start on the road versus the Lightning on Thursday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Annunen hasn't played since Feb. 6, when he surrendered four goals on 30 shots en route to a 5-3 loss to New Jersey. He'll try to earn his second win of the season in a rough road matchup with a Tampa Bay team that's 17-5-3 at home this year.

  • Avalanche's Justus Annunen: Falls to Devils

    Annunen stopped 26 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Devils. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

    Annunen has allowed four goals in each of his two NHL appearances this season. The 23-year-old won the first one, but a late goal to John Marino sent Annunen to a loss this time around. Alexandar Georgiev can be expected to start a majority of the Avalanche's games, so Annunen is consequently unlikely to see much action outside of back-to-back sets unless his play commands more time.
