Predators' Justus Annunen: Plays well in win
Annunen stopped 31 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Annunen gave up a goal to Mikael Backlund in the second period and was able to limit the damage there. The 24-year-old Annunen has won three of his last five outings, giving up 10 goals in that span. For the season, he's 9-6-0 with a 2.87 GAA and an .897 save percentage over 17 appearances. However, he's posted a 2.28 GAA and a .930 save percentage in six outings since being traded to Nashville from Colorado. Juuse Saros remains entrenched as the No. 1, and with no back-to-back sets until the end of January, head coach Andrew Brunette may have to pick some spots for Annunen to get starts in the next few weeks.

Predators' Justus Annunen: In goal against Flames
Annunen will protect the road goal versus the Flames on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Annunen is set to start the second half of a back-to-back after Juuse Saros pitched a shutout Friday in Vancouver. The 24-year-old Annunen allowed five goals on 38 shots against the Wild on Tuesday, taking the loss while playing in a back-to-back situation again. The Predators' schedule stretches out a bit after Saturday, so Annunen may not see as much playing time in the near future.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Rough night against Wild men
Annunen made 33 saves in a 5-3 loss to the Wild on Tuesday.
Annunen and the Preds gave up three power-play goals, and the team spent too much time in the penalty box on a night where the PK wasn't as good as it could have been. Annunen is now 2-2-0 with his new club, and he sports a 2.58 GAA and a .921 save percentage. Everyone has a bad night every once in a while, so throw this game out. Annunen is typically a solid fantasy play for daily leagues.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Guarding goal Tuesday
Annunen will defend the road net against Minnesota on Tuesday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.
Annunen will get the second half of Nashville's back-to-back after Juuse Saros played in Monday's 3-0 loss to Winnipeg. The 24-year-old Annunen has posted a record of 8-5-0 with a 2.83 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 15 appearances between the Predators and Avalanche this season.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Makes relief appearance
Annunen gave up a goal on 13 shots in relief of Juuse Saros in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Blues, who also scored an empty-netter.
Annunen was fine on mop-up duty after Saros gave up five goals on 15 shots. The 24-year-old Annunen has allowed six goals on 102 shots over four appearances in December, showing his value in a backup role. It's tough to trust either of Nashville's goalies this season, but that's more of a criticism of the team in front of them. Annunen has an 8-5-0 record with a 2.83 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 15 appearances between the Predators and the Avalanche this year. He's likely to start one of the next two games, either Monday in Winnipeg or Tuesday in Minnesota.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Showing strengths in new role
Annunen made 22 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Los Angeles on Saturday.
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.

The 24-year-old goalie is 6-3-0 through 10 appearances this season with a 2.81 GAA and an .886 save percentage, and Annunen figures to see a heavy workload while Alexandar Georgiev (upper body) is on IR.
