Justus Annunen Signs Two-Year Extension with Colorado Avalanche

The 24-year-old goaltender's impressive season secures his backup role and enhances the team's goalie lineup.

The Colorado Avalanche signed goaltender Justus Annunen to a two-year contract extension, running through the 2025-26 season.
Annunen, 24, has solidified his role as backup goalie this season with a 5-2-1 record, a .926 save percentage, and two shutouts.
The new contract reportedly has an average annual value (AAV) of approximately $833,000, making the Avalanche's goalie tandem cost-effective.
Annunen's performance includes becoming the first rookie goalie in franchise history to record shutouts in consecutive starts.
The contract extension prevents Annunen from becoming a restricted free agent on July 1, securing his position with the Avalanche for the next two seasons.
