Justus Annunen Starting For Avalanche Thursday
10 months agoColorado Avalanche goaltender Justus Annunen is the starting goaltender for Thursday's road game versus the Chicago Blackhawks. It appears head coach Jared Bednar is choosing to give the heavily-leaned-on Alexandar Georgiev a breather against one of the worst teams in the league. It's just the fifth start in the NHL for the 23-year-old this season as he sports a 3.50 goals-against average and an .898 save percentage across his first four outings. He now sports a 3.70 GAA and .881 Sv% across just eight career NHL appearances, going 3-3-2 in that time. That said, he has a strong chance at a victory on Thursday versus a Blackhawks offense that sits dead last while they are also last in the NHL with a .297 points percentage.
