Kaapo Kahkonen Earns Ninth Win On Friday
4 years agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen picked up his ninth victory of the campaign as his team cruised to a 5-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Friday. Starting for the first time in three contests, Kahkonen turned aside 24 of 25 shots against and looked confident throughout the game. The rookie netminder has been a pleasant surprise for Minnesota in 2020-2021, impressing with a 2.30 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage through 13 appearances. With goaltender Cam Talbot back to full health, Kahkonen (53% owned in Yahoo! leagues) will likely split games moving forward but could still provide great value to his fantasy owners.
