Notebook: Is There a Healthy Goaltending Competition Brewing With the Avalanche?

The article from MSN discusses the goaltending situation with the Colorado Avalanche, focusing on the potential competition between Alexandar Georgiev and Justus Annunen. Georgiev, who has been the primary goaltender, faced challenges last season with a high number of games played, leading to fatigue and a dip in performance. Despite this, he managed a .901 save percentage and a 2.89 goals-against average. Meanwhile, Justus Annunen, a 23-year-old prospect, has shown promise in his limited NHL appearances, posting a .927 save percentage and a 2.19 goals-against average. The article suggests that with Georgiev's heavy workload last season, there might be an opportunity for Annunen to step up, potentially leading to a healthy competition for the starting position. This competition could benefit the Avalanche by providing depth and pushing both goalies to perform at their best, especially as the team looks to manage Georgiev's workload more effectively in the upcoming season.
