4 years agoMinnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will make his 18th start of the season in Friday's road outing against the Blues. The 24-year-old featured heavily at the start of the season with Cam Talbot out of commission, but this will now be only his second start in 10 games. Kahkonen last featured in a 4-2 loss to San Jose on March 31. He's enjoying a good campaign with a 12-6-0 record, a 2.34 goals-against average, a .920 save percentage and two shutouts. Kahkonen faces a team that's lost seven in eight games, so it's a good spot for him to get back to winning ways. The Blues are going with Jordan Binnington as the teams start a back-to-back set.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
