Kaapo Kahkonen Injured Versus Predators

New Jersey Devils goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen sustained a lower-body injury in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to Nashville. He gave up an early goal to Jack Hughes and left the game after logging only 8:39 of ice time. Jake Allen stopped 29 of 30 pucks as his replacement. Kahkonen is set to undergo additional evaluations on Monday, which will determine his availability for Tuesday's contest against Toronto. The Finnish netminder has had a rough one in 2023-24, going 7-23-3 in 32 starts with the Devils and Sharks. He has allowed 3.72 goals with a .897 save percentage.

Kaapo Kahkonen Earns A Shutout Sunday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen earned a shutout as part of a 4-0 win over the rival New York Islanders on Sunday. The blanking was the first shutout of the season for the 27-year-old who was shipped to the Devils from the San Jose Sharks prior to the March 8 NHL trade deadline. It's been a tough season playing for a weak Sharks club as Kahkonen still sits with a 3.69 goals-against average and an .897 save percentage across 34 games, going 7-22-0 in that time. With the win, the Devils remain in the playoff hunt as they sit with a 35-33-4 record, five points back of the Washington Capitals for the second Wild Card spot in the east, although Washington owns two games in hand.

Kaapo Kahkonen In Goal Thursday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen is the starting netminder for Thursday's home game versus the Anaheim Ducks. Kahkonen is the team's starting goalie for the foreseeable future with Mackenzie Blackwood being placed on injured reserve on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has struggled again this season as he sports a 3.63 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage across 28 games (24 starts), going 6-18-2 on a Sharks team that is tied for the least amount of points in the NHL alongside the Chicago Blackhawks. He worked to a 3.85 GAA and .883 Sv% across 37 games in his first full season with the Sharks last season. He does have a strong matchup on hand, however, as the Ducks sit in a tie for 29th with 2.59 goals per game on the season.

Kaapo Kahkonen A Risky Streaming Option Friday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen is expected to start Friday against the Arizona Coyotes. The Sharks have been rotating between Kahkonen and Mackenzie Blackwood for the last month or so, and that will continue on Friday. While the Sharks have one of the worst records in the NHL, that is mostly due to the horrific start they got off to. Over the last 18 games, they have gone 9-7-2 with wins over some of the best teams in the league. That being said, Kahkonen could be a decent streaming option against a reeling Coyotes squad that has lost four in a row while scoring just eight goals in those games. It's risky, but with a light slate on Friday it could be the best option available for those in need of a start.

Kaapo Kahkonen Makes 44 Saves In Victory

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen stopped 44-of-47 shots on goal in Friday's 6-3 victory against the Devils. Kahkonen matched his season-high with the 44-save performance, while he has earned three wins over his previous four starts. Kahkonen had a rough start to the season with five consecutive losses prior to picking up his first win, but the 27-year-old has shown improvement in recent times and carries season totals of a 3.99 goals against average and .896 save percentage through 10 appearances.

Kaapo Kahkonen Misses Friday's Practice

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen (upper body) missed Friday's practice and is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Pittsburgh. The Finnish netminder was involved in a collision with Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko Thursday night. Kahkonen was pulled from the contest in the middle of the second frame after he had allowed six goals on 19 shots. He was seen on the Sharks bench but might now be unavailable for the next game. San Jose is off to a horrible start, and Kahkonen has taken a few beatings as well, going 0-4-0 with a 4.30 goals-against average and a .876 save percentage. Mackenzie Blackwood should start Saturday as the Sharks continue to search for their first victory.

Kaapo Kahkonen Blanks Golden Knights Tuesday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen notched a shutout on Tuesday night as part of a 2-0 victory over the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights. He wasn't overly busy on the evening, turning aside all 18 shots he faced at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. It was his second win of the preseason while he lowered his numbers to a 1.00 goals-against average and .962 save percentage in exhibition play. The 27-year-old worked to a rough 3.85 GAA and .883 Sv% across 37 outings last season, his first full season in San Jose. For his career, Kahkonen owns a 3.23 GAA and .899 Sv% in 102 appearances between the Sharks and Minnesota Wild and should be left alone in fantasy drafts this fall.

Kaapo Kahkonen In Goal Thursday Against Colorado

San Jose Sharks netminder Kaapo Kahkonen faced 42 shots and allowed four goals, resulting in an overtime defeat at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. This marks his 11th loss in his last 12 games, and his performance this season has been consistently poor. He has a record of 9-18-7 with a high 3.83 goals-against-average and a save percentage of just .881. He has to go up against Colorado again, who has been in good form lately, winning five of their last six games.

Kaapo Kahkonen In Goal Tuesday Against Colorado

San Jose Sharks goalie Kaapo Kahkonen was shelled in his last game, allowing eight goals on 38 shots and losing to Washington 8-3. Kahkonen has struggled this season, posting an 8-14-5 record with a 3.68 goals-against-average and a .882 save percentage. However, San Jose is in a rebuild. The Sharks face off against Colorado Tuesday, and Kahkonen has yet to play against them this year. His last five starts have been rough. He has lost all five, allowing 18 goals.

Kaapo Kahkonen Exits Sunday's Win With Injury

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen suffered an undisclosed injury and had to exit the game Sunday versus Washington. With James Reimer battling an illness, Kahkonen made a fourth consecutive start but had to leave late in the second period when he was involved in a collision with Washington forward Evgeny Kuznetsov. Before being forced off, Kahkonen made 12 saves on 13 shots. Aaron Dell took over the crease and secured a 4-1 victory for the team with eight saves. Kahkonen has been in great form lately, so he will be badly missed if he suffered a significant injury, particularly with Reimer's status for the next game unknown at present.

Kaapo Kahkonen Tending Twine against Pittsburgh

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will be between the pipes on Saturday as they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Finnish netminder has had a challenging season, with a 5-9-4 record, a 3.88 goals-against-average, and a .869 save percentage in 21 appearances. He is 2-2-1 in his last five starts. This will be Kahkonen's first time facing the Penguins. Kahkonen will try to help the Sharks end their three-game losing streak despite his struggles this year.

Kaapo Kahkonen Tending Twine Friday

San Jose Sharks netminder Kaapo Kahkonen will be between the pipes Friday against Edmonton. Kahkonen won his last outing 4-1 on January 10th against Arizona, where he stopped 27 of 29 shots. In 17 Sharks games, Kahkonen has compiled a 5-7-4 record with a 3.68 goals-against average and a .873 save percentage. He has been splitting time with veteran goalie James Reimer who has lost his last four starts. The Sharks have yet to play the Oilers this season.

Kaapo Kahkonen In Sharks Goal Sunday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will take over the crease for Sunday's meeting with Chicago. The Sharks are completing a back-to-back set and James Reimer gets the night off, so Kahkonen has an opportunity to log his 15th start of the campaign. It's been a rough one for Kahkonen, as he has gone 3-7-3 with a 3.83 goals-against average and a .870 save percentage. One of his first appearances of the season came against the Blackhawks and ended in a 5-2 defeat with him posting just 20 saves. It was an awful outing for him, but the Blackhawks have the league's poorest offense with a 2.20 goals-for average, so Kahkonen is in a good spot to get revenge.

Kaapo Kahkonen Nullifies Montreal

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen recorded his third career shutout on Tuesday with a 28-save effort in a 4-0 win over Montreal. It's his first-ever shutout in a road contest. This was a bolt out of the blue, as Kahkonen has massively struggled this season and his goals-against average was near 4.00 entering Tuesday's action. He was able to drop it to 3.43 with his Tuesday's performance, and Kahkonen is now 3-5-2 for the season with a .884 save percentage. The Finnish netminder has started a temporary stint as San Jose's No. 1, with James Reimer (lower body) landing on Injured Reserve at the beginning of the week.

Kaapo Kahkonen Dealt To San Jose

Minnesota Wild netminder Kaapo Kahkonen was traded before the end of the trade deadline on Monday to San Jose. They also included a 2022 fifth-round pick in return for defenseman Jacob Middleton. Once touted as the goaltender of the future for Minnesota, Kahkonen didn't live up to the expectations that were set upon him. Middleton will bolster Minnesota's blue line, and he's registered three goals and six helpers.

Kaapo Kahkonen Gets Little Support In Defeat

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen delivered another quality start on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Kings. This time it was in a loss but that gives Kahkonen five quality starts in his last six appearances. He yielded two goals on 37 shots as Los Angeles peppered the Finnish goalie. Now, the Minnesota winning streak was bound to end but it was not the fault of Kahkonen. The goaltender is approaching a .900 save percentage and has a 4-2-1 record in seven decisions.

Kaapo Kahkonen Allows Two Goals In Win

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen had another solid night at home as the Wild defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2 on Thursday night. Kahkonen stopped 29 of 31 shots for his second consecutive win. That moved him to 4-1-1 on the season while spelling Cam Talbot in the process. Kahkonen was particularly a thorn in the side of Jesper Bratt, who had several quality scoring chances. The Finnish goalie thwarted every one of those attempts as Kahkonen showed that the problems of last year appeared to be a product of the past.

Kaapo Kahkonen Starts In Goal For Minnesota On Thursday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen earns another start on Thursday night against the New Jersey Devils. The goalie stopped 29 of 31 shots in a win over the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night. Most were likely expecting Cam Talbot in net but he had seen 103 shots in three starts so Dean Evason wanted to give him a little more rest. The bigger question is how Kahkonen responds given the opportunity. He should be motivated as the Finnish goalie goes for win number four on the season Thursday night.

Kaapo Kahkonen Beats Arizona Again Tuesday

Minnesota 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.

Kaapo Kahkonen Makes Fifth Start Of The Season

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will record his fifth start of the season on Tuesday against Arizona. It's going to be his first start since suffering a 5-4 shootout loss against Tampa on Nov. 21. Kahkonen's season has been full of mixed performances, which have resulted in a 3.30 goals-against average and a .870 save percentage, and he sits on a 2-1-1 record. Matchups with Arizona were automatic wins for every team at the start of the season, but the Coyotes have done pretty well recently, so nothing is guaranteed for Kahkonen. Andre Tourigny's team has gone 4-2-1 in seven games ahead of the trip to Saint Paul.
