The Colorado Avalanche, by all accounts, aren’t likely to see goaltender Justus Annunen in North America this season. He’s been loaned for the year to Kärpät, where he’ll finish out the extension he signed last summer before getting ready to show off what he can do for the team that drafted him in 2018.
It’s the internet age, though, making it easier than ever for sports fans to keep an eye on their favorite players in leagues across the world. And with no hockey set to be played in North America until at least December — and no NHL play until potentially the turn of the calendar year — it’s worth turning to what Annunen will be doing over in Finland for the time being.
