Drops result in San Jose Kahkonen allowed three goals on 32 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Kahkonen was perfect in the first period, but the Sharks took over in the second and held on to hand the Finn his second straight loss. The 24-year-old has a 12-6-0 record with a 2.34 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 18 games. The Wild finish a back-to-back Thursday in Vegas, which likely means Kahkonen will back up Cam Talbot for that contest.
