Kahkonen (not injured related) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus Carolina, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils hoped that Kahkonen would make it from San Jose to New Jersey in time to suit up as the backup goaltender Saturday, but that won't happen. Kahkonen was dealt to New Jersey in exchange for Vitek Vanecek on Friday. Nico Dawes is expected to start for the Devils versus Carolina on Saturday, with Akira Schmid as the backup.
