Justus Annunen starts the training camp as the clear No. 2 goalie for the Avalanche, but there is speculation about whether the team will add another experienced goalie, as they did last season when they picked up Ivan Prosvetov from waivers shortly after the season began. Prosvetov's addition allowed him to serve as Alexandar Georgiev’s backup, illustrating the fluid nature of the goaltending situation in Colorado. Annunen performed well when given the chance, but the possibility of acquiring a veteran goalie again adds an element of uncertainty as the roster is finalized.
