Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will get his seventh start of the season on Thursday against Anaheim. He took an ugly 4-0 loss on Tuesday against the Kings when Minnesota restarted its season following a COVID-19 break. Cam Talbot is off the COVID-19 protocol list as well now, but the Wild still go with Kahkonen against the Ducks. The 24-year-old beat Anaheim with a 22-save performance early in the season in a 3-2 victory, but he's been struggling after a hot start. Kahkonen's record for the season has dropped to 3-4-0 and he carries a 2.90 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. It's hard to trust the young Finn at the moment, especially with John Gibson likely to guard the opposite crease. He is tied for the league-lead with three shutouts and gives the Ducks a decent shot at victory against any opposition.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
