Kaapo Kahkonen Makes First Start In Five Games
4 years agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will start in Wednesday's matchup versus San Jose. He'll be back between the pipes for the first time since taking an ugly 6-0 loss against Colorado on Mar. 20. Cam Talbot went on to start four straight games and put together a nice 3-0-1 record. Kahkonen had posted two shutouts in three games ahead of the clash with the Avalanche, so his play fell apart very suddenly. He's having a nice debut campaign with a 12-5-0 record, a 2.29 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage. The two teams have split four meetings this season, so this a tricky matchup for Kahkonen.
