Kahkonen will guard the road goal Monday versus the Rangers, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen will make his Devils debut after being acquired from San Jose on Friday. In 31 appearances this season, he has posted a 6-20-3 record with a 3.82 GAA and an .895 save percentage. The Rangers are tied for ninth in the league with 3.32 goals per contest this campaign.

Kahkonen (not injury related) practiced with the Devils on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen didn't arrive from San Jose in time to back up Nico Daws on Saturday, but he appears ready to go ahead of the Devils' next game Monday versus the Rangers. Kahkonen went 6-20-3 with an .895 save percentage and 3.82 GAA with the Sharks this season. He figures to split goaltending duties with Daws and Jake Allen in New Jersey.

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.

Kahkonen was brought in by New Jersey from San Jose in exchange for Vitek Vanecek (lower body) and a seventh-round pick Friday, Jeff Marek of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen could be in line to split the goaltending duties with fellow deadline acquisition Jake Allen for New Jersey. It's been a rough season for the 27-year-old Kahkonen, as he has been limited to just six wins in 31 games while sporting a 3.82 GAA and an .895 save percentage behind an awful Sharks squad. Perhaps with a stronger supporting cast Kahkoenen will be able to secure some wins down the stretch before potentially hitting free agency this offseason.

Kahkonen surrendered seven goals on 40 shots in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen had a three-goal lead to protect after Mikael Granlund scored in the third period. That lead evaporated when the Stars got three goals in a span of 2:44 in the third period, and Roope Hintz's game-winning tally completed the Sharks' collapse in overtime. Kahkonen is 0-7-2 with 38 goals allowed over his last nine appearances. He's now at 6-20-3 with a 3.81 GAA and an .895 save percentage through 31 games. The Sharks host the Islanders on Thursday.

Kahkonen will patrol the home crease Tuesday against Dallas, according to Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen has gone 0-7-1 over his past eight outings, surrendering 31 goals on 275 shots during that span. In 30 appearances this season, he has posted a 6-20-2 record with a 3.70 GAA and an .897 save percentage. The Stars sit fifth in the league this campaign with 3.52 goals per contest.

Kahkonen stopped 28 of 32 Wild shots during Sunday's 4-3 loss.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen almost grabbed a win against his former team, but a pair of late goals turned the tide against the Sharks. It has been a tough run for the 27-year-old netminder. He's 0-7-1 in his last eight games, and Sunday's .875 save percentage is the best mark he's had over the three most recent contests. The Sharks defense isn't helping a whole lot, but the distinction isn't important for fantasy managers. Things have not gone well recently for Kahkonen.

Kahkonen will get the road start in Minnesota on Sunday, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen will get the second half of San Jose's back-to-back after Magnus Chrona plays in Dallas on Saturday. Kahkonen is 6-19-2 with a 3.68 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 29 appearances this season for a struggling San Jose team. Minnesota has recorded 30.2 shots per game, which ranks 20th in the NHL this campaign.

Kahkonen stopped 24 of 29 shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Ducks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen is 0-6-1 over his last seven outings, including regulation losses in all five of his games in February. The 27-year-old gave up all five goals over the first two periods Thursday, and the Sharks couldn't muster a comeback in the third. Kahkonen is down to 6-19-2 with a 3.68 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 29 outings. The Sharks have a road back-to-back on tap this weekend, with games Saturday in Dallas and Sunday in Minnesota. Kahkonen and Magnus Chrona are expected to split those games with Mackenzie Blackwood (undisclosed) on injured reserve for the next week at a minimum.

Kahkonen is expected to start at home against Anaheim on Thursday, according to Max Miller of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Kahkonen has a 6-18-2 record, 3.63 GAA and .901 save percentage in 28 outings in 2023-24. He's lost his last six appearances while allowing 22 goals on 214 shots (.897 save percentage). Although the Sharks are the underdogs in almost every game, Anaheim, which is tied for 29th offensively with 2.59 goals per contest, presents a favorable matchup for Kahkonen.
