The 24-year-old has been excellent in seven games he's played with the big club, recording a .929 save percentage and a 7-4-2 record.

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

Impact 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.

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

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

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

Impact Annunen 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.

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

Impact Annunen shouldn't be expected to spend more than 24 hours in the minors to make him eligible for the AHL postseason. The 23-year-old netminder is undefeated in regulation in his last three outings, posting a 2-0-1 record to go with a 0.65 GAA, .978 save percentage and two shutouts. Despite the strong performances, Annunen figures to remain behind Alexandar Georgiev as the No. 1 option in Colorado.

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Justus Annunen Records BACK TO BACK Shutouts

Slated to start Annunen is on track to start between the pipes in Monday's home game versus the Blackhawks, source reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact It's the first career shutout for the 23-year-old Annunen as he picked up his second win of the season, 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.

Justus Annunen's FIRST NHL Shutout

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Annunen will get his first start in a week. He's allowed four goals in each of his three 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.

FEBRUARY 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 -- Annunen is unlikely to see much action outside of back-to-back sets unless his play commands more time.

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Annunen will protect the road net versus the Devils on Tuesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact Annunen will make his second appearance at the NHL level this season. His previous outing was Jan. 16 in a 7-4 win over the Senators. Annunen appears set to have a chance to carve out a role as backup to Alexandar Georgiev after the Avalanche waived Ivan Prosvetov on Saturday.

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from AHL Annunen was summoned from AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Impact Annunen has a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 23 AHL contests this season. He's also appeared in a game with the Avalanche on Jan. 16, stopping 36 of 40 shots en route to a 7-4 victory over Ottawa. Colorado waived Ivan Prosvetov in a corresponding move, opening the door to Annunen serving as the Avalanche's backup goaltender behind Alexandar Georgiev.

FEBRUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to AHL Annunen was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Friday.

Impact Annunen made his first NHL start of the campaign, saving 36 of 40 shots en route to a 7-4 victory over Ottawa on Tuesday. He got the opportunity despite Alexandar Georgiev and Ivan Prosvetov both being healthy, though Georgiev started Monday, which is why he wasn't in net against the Senators. With Annunen returning to the minors, Prosvetov will regain his role as the Avalanche's No. 2 goaltender.

JANUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches win in season debut Annunen made 36 saves in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Senators.

Impact Promoted from AHL Colorado over the weekend, Annunen made his first start of the season at the NHL level and looked shaky early, falling into a 4-2 hole midway through the second period. The 23-year-old rallied after that and shut the door on the Sens while the Avs offense got rolling. Ivan Prosvetov has been the backup to Alexandar Georgiev so far in 2023-24, but Prosvetov's 3.16 GAA and .895 save percentage in 11 outings could leave him vulnerable to Annunen taking his job.
