- Minnesota Wild rookie netminder sensation Kaapo Kahkonen is in the middle of a historic streak. Considering that he started this season as the third-stringer, it’s quite a feat for where he is now.
Kaapo Kahkonen extends his franchise best win streak by a #mnwild rookie goal to eight games. He owns a 1.62 GAA, a .940 SV% and one shutout in the last eight games. https://t.co/7DXxVf7bNZ
