Perfect in relief for win Kahkonen went 17-for-17 in saves in relief of an injured Cam Talbot in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Impact Talbot left the contest after the first period with an undisclosed injury after getting stung by a shot that he couldn't shake off in the intermission. Enter Kahkonen, who stopped every shot he faced and earned the win as the Wild took the lead on a Zach Parise goal in the second period. The 24-year-old Kahkonen has been solid in a backup role through two appearances, but if Talbot misses time, Kahkonen would become the main man in the crease. No starter has been announced for Sunday's encore versus the Sharks at this time.

Victorious in first start Kahkonen kicked out 22 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Anaheim.
Impact Kahkonen was making his first appearance of the season after No. 1 starter Cam Talbot had done the honors in each of the first three games. The 24-year-old didn't have a whole lot to do until the midway point of the second period when the Ducks struck for a pair of goals three-and-a-half minutes apart. Minnesota had dominated play to that point and Kahkonen locked things down again after Anaheim tied the game. He'll likely head back to the bench when Minnesota hosts San Jose on Friday.

Making season debut Wednesday Kahkonen will make his season debut Wednesday in Anaheim, Sarah McLellan of Star Tribune Sports reports.
Impact Kahkonen watched Cam Talbot start Minnesota's first three games, including Monday's 1-0 loss to the Ducks. While Talbot's off to a strong start in Minnesota, the team will give its backup a shot in this cushy matchup with an Anaheim offense that has mustered only four goals through three games. This will be Kahkonen's first NHL appearance in over a year, as he last guarded the Wild's crease Dec. 15, 2019.

Highlights camp additions Anas is among 12 players added to the Wild's roster ahead of Monday's Phase 3 camp opening, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Considering Anas was the leading point producer in the AHL this past season (70 points in 63 games), it shouldn't be a surprise to see him joining the team for camp. The Maryland native could be in the mix for a spot in the lineup when Minnesota faces off with Vancouver, especially if the coaching staff believes he can provide more depth scoring than the likes of Ryan Donato. In addition to Anas, the team will add forwards Gerald Mayhew, Kyle Rau, J.T. Brown, Luke Johnson and Nico Sturm, defensemen Calen Addison, Louis Belpedio, Matt Bartkowski and Brennan Menell and goalies Kaapo Kahkonen and Matt Robson.
