Kahkonen Starting Wednesday vs. Jets
Kaapo Kahkonen will guard the road goal Wednesday versus Winnipeg, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. In his last appearance, Kahkonen made 31 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Anaheim on Jan. 31. He has earned a 6-14-2 record this season with a 3.55 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 24 games played. Winnipeg sits 17th in the league this campaign with 3.02 goals per contest.
Hellebuyck Picks up Win vs. Penguins
Connor Hellebuyck stopped 35 of 36 shots in Saturday’s 2-1 win over the Penguins. After uncharacteristically losing three straight games and not producing a save percentage above .900, Hellebuyck was stellar Saturday night against an offensive onslaught from the Penguins. He stopped the first 20 shots fired his way until Bryan Rust tipped an Erik Karlsson wrister from the point top shelf that he had no chance on. He was unbeatable after that, kicking aside the next 15 shots sent his way. The former Vezina-trophy winner has some of the best numbers of his career with a .925 save percentage and a 2.19 GAA.
