Annunen allowed two goals on four shots after replacing Alexandar Georgiev in the third period of Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Golden Knights.
Annunen could have a chance to be Colorado's No. 1 netminder if Alexandar Georgiev continues to struggle. Georgiev has appeared in at least 62 games in each of the last two seasons and posted a 3.02 GAA and .897 save percentage in 2023-24. Annunen has only 19 regular-season games of NHL experience, but he sports a career record of 10-5-2 with a 2.68 GAA and a .911 save percentage.
