Predators' Justus Annunen: Loses goaltending duel in overtime
Annunen stopped 20 of 21 shots in Saturday's 1-0 overtime loss to the Kings.
Annunen was dialed in, matching Darcy Kuemper throughout regulation. The Kings got the lone goal from Quinton Byfield at 3:20 of overtime, sending Annunen to an unfortunate defeat, his fourth in six outings despite his best performance in that span. For the season, the 25-year-old netminder is at 14-9-1 with a 3.04 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 26 games between the Predators and the Avalanche. The Predators return home to face the Blues on Tuesday, which is likely to be a start for Juuse Saros, but their back-to-back set next weekend should afford Annunen another chance to start soon.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Collects overtime win
Annunen stopped 17 of 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Annunen finally got some goal support -- he'd been shutout in his previous two starts, though he also allowed nine goals on 70 shots in those contests. In Saturday's game, Steven Stamkos had his first hat trick for Nashville, giving Annunen just enough to work with for the win. Annunen is up to 14-9-0 with a 3.15 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 25 appearances between the Predators and the Avalanche this season. Juuse Saros is likely to be back between the pipes for two of three games next week as the Predators go on a road trip through California, which begins Tuesday in San Jose.

Predators' Justus Annunen: On wrong side of shutout
Annunen stopped 30 of 34 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers.
The Rangers had at least one goal in each period, and Jonathan Quick was spectacular in the other goal, leaving Annunen with no help in the loss. This is the fifth straight start in which Annunen has allowed four or more goals -- shockingly, he's won two of those games. He's down to a 13-9-0 record with a 3.21 GAA and an .888 save percentage across 24 appearances between the Predators and the Avalanche this season. Juuse Saros will likely be between the pipes when Nashville wraps up this three-game road trip in Boston on Tuesday.

Annunen will guard the road net Sunday against the Rangers, Predators Radio Host Max Herz reports.
Annunen will get the call in the second leg of a back-to-back after Juuse Saros started Saturday against the Islanders. It's been a tough stretch for Annunen, who has allowed four or more goals in each of his last four outings.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Poor performance vs. New Jersey
Annunen stopped 31 of 36 shots in Sunday's 5-0 loss to the Devils.
Annunen was beaten once in the first period and twice more in each of the final two frames, and he posted a save percentage below the .865 mark for a fourth outing in a row. The 24-year-old has gone 2-2-0 in that stretch, but since he started on the second leg of a back-to-back set, he's likely to return to his backup role for Tuesday's contest against the Panthers, with Juuse Saros getting the start.

Annunen will be between the home pipes against the Devils on Sunday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Wins ugly Saturday
Annunen stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.
It wasn't a good performance, but it was enough for his fifth win in six outings. Annunen has given up 13 goals across his last three assists, so he's lucky to have two wins in that span. For the season, the 24-year-old is up to 13-7-0 with a 3.07 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 22 appearances. He's likely to remain in the backup role as long as Juuse Saros is healthy. After the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Predators have a home back-to-back with tough matchups against the Avalanche on Feb. 22 and the Devils on Feb. 23, so expect Annunen to start one of those games.

The 24-year-old netminder is now 12-6-0 with a 2.95 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 20 appearances between the Predators and the Avalanche this season. Juuse Saros will likely be back between the pipes Saturday in Anaheim.

Predators' Justus Annunen: Facing Sharks
Annunen will start on the road versus the Sharks on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Juuse Saros struggled Tuesday against the Sharks at home, and head coach Andrew Brunette will spare him having to face them again in such short order. Instead, Annunen will get the nod after picking up a win in relief in Tuesday's game. Annunen has allowed five goals on 70 shots while winning all three of his outings in January, and this is a favorable matchup for him to keep the good times rolling.

Annunen was able to get a positive result despite a natural hat trick by Pavel Dorofeyev. The 24-year-old Annunen had a large cushion to work with after the Predators scored the first four goals of the game, and he was just able to hold on for his fourth win in six outings. The Finnish netminder is now 10-6-0 with a 2.88 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 18 games between the Predators and the Avalanche this season. Juuse Saros is likely to return to the crease for Thursday's home game versus the Blackhawks.

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: 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.
