Kaapo Kahkonen Beats Arizona Again Tuesday
3 years agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen thrives when playing the Arizona Coyotes. Tuesday night was no exception, as Kahkonen stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 5-2 win. The Finnish goaltender improved to 3-1-1 in 2021-22. It came on the heels of an ugly performance where he gave up four goals to the Tampa Bay Lightning on just 24 shots. In contrast, Kahkonen looked composed versus Arizona. It was his fourth win in as many starts versus the Coyotes while posting a sterling .956 save percentage. This is unlikely to boost his playing time much, as Cam Talbot is the entrenched starter.
