Set to start Tuesday Annunen is expected to patrol the home crease against the Islanders on Tuesday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Impact Annunen was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate after occupying the starter's crease during the session. He is 0-5-1 in his last seven appearances, surrendering 17 goals on 156 shots. Annunen has a 14-14-1 record with a 3.05 GAA and an .889 save percentage through 32 appearances between Nashville and Colorado this season.

Steamrolled by Stars Annunen made 22 saves in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Dallas.

Impact After a scoreless first period, Steven Stamkos potted the game's first goal to give Nashville a lead early in the second, but things fell apart for the Predators in the final frame. Annunen hasn't gotten into the win column since March 8, going 0-5-1 over his last seven outings with a 2.73 GAA and .891 save percentage, but with Nashville eliminated from the playoff picture, the team will give the 25-year-old netminder a longer look over the remainder of the schedule.

Starting versus Stars Annunen will guard the road goal versus the Stars on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Juuse Saros was awful versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, and Annunen played the third period, allowing a goal on 11 shots. The 25-year-old will now play for a fourth straight game as he looks to shake off an 0-4-1 skid over his last six outings. Annunen is not a strong fantasy play, as the Stars have won six in a row entering Thursday.

Plays third period in loss Annunen stopped 10 of 11 shots in relief of Juuse Saros in Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Annunen was tagged in for the third period after Saros allowed three goals over the final eight minutes in the middle frame, turning a close game into a blowout. The 25-year-old Annunen gave up the third goal of Kirill Marchenko's hat trick, but that was the only blemish on his performance. Annunen remains at 14-13-1 with a 2.98 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 31 outings this season between the Predators and the Avalanche. Saros has struggled throughout the campaign, so Annunen may see a bit more action down the stretch since the team has nothing but draft position to play for. Both Nashville goalies are best avoided for Thursday's road game in Dallas.

Gets little help in Philly Annunen made 16 saves in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Nashville out-shot 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.

Starting in Philadelphia Annunen will tend the road twine Monday versus the Flyers, according to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

Impact Annunen hasn't fared well through six appearances in March, posting a 1-4-1 record, .902 save percentage and 2.51 GAA. The Finnish netminder will look to snap his four-game losing streak against a Flyers squad that is 2-0-0 and has netted 13 goals since parting ways with former head coach John Tortorella. Annunen is 2-0-0 with a 3.52 GAA and an .879 save percentage over two career appearances against Philadelphia.

Fourth straight loss Annunen made 26 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights on Saturday. He allowed two goals.

Impact Annunen kept his team in contention, but his mates couldn't find their way into the kitchen all night long. The Vegas team defense was too strong. He's 0-3-1 in his last four starts, and his last win came March 8 against Chicago. Annunen could be in line for more starts now that the Preds have been eliminated from playoff contention, but he's a risk given the team in front of him.

Facing Golden Knights Annunen will patrol the home crease against Vegas on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Annunen has lost his last two outings, surrendering six goals on 51 shots. He has posted a record of 8-7-1 with a 2.96 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 17 appearances with Nashville this season. Vegas sits fourth in the league with 3.42 goals per game and earned a 5-3 win over Chicago on Friday.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three goals Sunday Annunen made 14 of 17 saves in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

Impact After a rocky first period where Annunen allowed two goals, he then tended one and a half clean frames before he surrendered St. Louis' third goal of the game to Justin Faulk. The 25-year-old Annunen has a 14-11-1 record with a 3.05 GAA and an .890 save percentage in 28 appearances this season. Annunen has struggled as of late with just one win in his last six starts. While his wins have been less frequent since joining the Predators after a trade away from Colorado, the young netminder has improved his save percentage and GAA in his 17 appearances with Nashville. However, it is best to fade Annunen in fantasy until next season while Nashville's struggles persist.

Starting in St. Louis Annunen will serve as the starting goalie for Sunday's road game against St. Louis, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Annunen has been inconsistent in recent outings, going 1-2-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .907 save percentage. He's seen sporadic playing time over the past month but will draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 30 saves in loss Thursday Annunen stopped 30 of 33 shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the final seconds of the third period.

Impact Annunen has been alternating wins and losses across his last four starts, but it's worth noting he's posted a save percentage of at least .890 in the previous three. The 25-year-old has appeared in 16 games for Nashville since being acquired via trade earlier this season, posting an 8-6-1 record with a 2.95 GAA and a .901 save percentage in that span.

Between pipes against Ducks Annunen will tend the twine at home versus Anaheim on Thursday, Emma Lingan of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Annunen has played in just five games over the Predators' last 14 contests, posting a 2-2-1 record, 3.14 GAA and .885 save percentage. If the young backstop can put together a strong performance, he should be capable of pushing Juuse Saros for more opportunities.

Loses goaltending duel in overtime Annunen stopped 20 of 21 shots in Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Annunen was dialed in, matching Darcy Kuemper throughout regulation. The Kings got the lone goal from Quinton Byfield at 3:20 of overtime, sending Annunen to an unfortunate defeat, his fourth in six outings despite his best performance in that span. For the season, the 25-year-old netminder is at 14-9-1 with a 3.04 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 26 games between the Predators and the Avalanche. The Predators return home to face the Blues on Tuesday, which is likely to be a start for Juuse Saros, but their back-to-back set next weekend should afford Annunen another chance to start soon.

Expected to start Saturday Annunen is set to start on the road against the Kings on Saturday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Impact Annunen stopped 17 of 19 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime victory over Chicago in his previous start last Saturday. He's 14-9-0 with a 3.15 GAA and an .888 save percentage in 25 appearances between Colorado and Nashville in 2024-25. Los Angeles ranks 18th in goals per game with 2.86.
