Justus Annunen - NHL News & Rumors

Loses to Golden Knights Annunen stopped 24 of 28 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Golden Knights. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Annunen has allowed 15 goals across his last three outings, going 1-2-0 in that span. The 25-year-old has been splitting the crease with Juuse Saros lately since the Predators have nothing to play for but pride in a terrible 2024-25 campaign. Annunen is 15-15-1 with a 3.18 GAA and an .883 save percentage over 34 outings between Nashville and Colorado this season. If the workload pattern continues, Saros could face Utah on Monday, and Annunen may draw a tough matchup against the Stars on Wednesday in the Predators' regular-season finale.

Back in net Saturday Annunen will start Saturday's road matchup against the Golden Knights, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

Impact It'll be the sixth start in eight games for Annunen -- he allowed six goals in his last outing against the Islanders, but managed to come away with a win. Overall, the 25-year-old netminder is 9-10-1 with an .889 save percentage since joining the Predators earlier this year.

Victorious in high-scoring affair Annunen made 16 saves on 22 shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime win over the Islanders.

Impact Annunen was far from perfect in this back-and-forth contest, but the Predators were able to net a pair of goals late in the final frame to force overtime -- Fedor Svechkov went on to pot the game-winner. This was Annunen's first victory since March 8 versus Chicago, and he now holds a 9-10-1 record, .889 save percentage and 3.12 GAA over 22 appearances with Nashville after being acquired from Colorado in November. The Preds will face Vegas, Dallas and Utah twice to close out their season.

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.
