Kaapo Kahkonen Set For Another Start On Saturday
4 years agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen gets a chance to take on the Ducks again on Saturday. The rookie netminder rolled to a 3-1 victory with 16 saves versus Anaheim on Thursday. He took his record for the year to 4-4-0. It's been an up-and-down run by Kahkonen so far this season, but he boasts a decent 2.65 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage. The Ducks are scoring a league-low 1.88 goals per game, so Kahkonen could get another easy night on Saturday. Dereck Baribeau will back him up, with Andrew Hammond added to the NHL's COVID-19 list and Cam Talbot not yet ready to play after returning from the COVID-19 list.
