Nashville Predators
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. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year contract extension with the Avalanche in March of 2024. Traded to Nashville in November of 2024.
Showing strengths in new role

December 21, 2024
Annunen made 22 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Los Angeles on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Annunen held a shutout until the 9:24 mark of the third when Quinton Byfield rifled a snap shot past him from the slot. A few minutes later, Alex Laferriere stuffed in a rebound with the extra attacker on the ice during a delayed penalty. Annunen has been excellent in a backup role in Nashville. He is 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and a .944 save percentage in three games. Annunen has plenty of upside as a spot starter but still could be used sparingly behind Juuse Saros.
