An opportunity awaits for young Avs goalie Justus Annunen: “I know I’m being watched every day”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:21:50 GMT

Aside from captain Gabriel Landeskog’s season-long absence, the second-most important player on the Colorado Avalanche roster who might not be ready for the start of the season is backup goaltender Pavel Francouz.He has yet to skate with the team during training camp, and Friday his coach said there was no timeline for Francouz’s return. That makes 23-year-old Justus Annunen, with four games of NHL experience on his resume, the next man up.“It is how it works. Somebody gets hurt and some other guy gets a chance,” Annunen said. “It’s unfortunate for Frankie, but I have a chance right now and I have to do my best. I’m trying to make the most of it. Just trying to do my best every day and fight for my spot.”The salary-cap conscious Avs did not add a veteran third goalie during the offseason. Alexandar Georgiev is entrenched as the starter, and with Francouz absent, there are four other goalies in camp. Annunen is the only one that has appeared in an NHL game.A Kempele, Finland, native,...

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Jalen Milroe and Alabama’s offense busted out of the doldrums in the second half and the 13th-ranked Crimson Tide’s defense was strong throughout in a 24-10 victory over No. 15 Mississippi on Saturday.The Crimson Tide (3-1) scored 18 points in a 14-minute span — one more than the team managed against South Florida last weekend — to pull away from the Rebels (3-1) in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.The result was Alabama’s eighth straight win over Ole Miss, but not the kind of performance that assuaged concerns about the shaky offensive play. The Tide’s eight-year streak in the Top 10 ended this week.Milroe reclaimed the starting job after watching two backups split time last weekend. He responded with enough positive plays to overcome an interception in the end zone.The biggest was a 33-yard touchdown pass to freshman Jalen Hale when Milroe delivered a strike in the back of the end zone despite getting hit as he threw...
