DENVER – Colorado and Nashville have swapped backup goaltenders, with the Predators bringing in Justus Annunen and the Avalanche bringing in Scott Wedgewood.
The Predators also received a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NHL draft as part of the deal.
Annunen will support Nashville's Juuse Saros. The 24-year-old Annunen is 6-4 with a goals-against average of 3.23. He was a third-round pick by Colorado in 2018.
The 32-year-old Wedgewood wants to compete with Colorado's Alexandar Georgiev for time in net. Wedgewood went 1-2-1 with a 3.69 goals-against average for Nashville this season.
Wedgewood signed a two-year contract with Nashville in July.
