Kahkonen allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) as he picked up his third loss in four starts after a defeat to Anaheim last game. The 26-year-old backup netminder has been one of the league's poorest performers between the pipes this season, with his 4-7-4 record, 3.79 GAA and .869 SV%. He will hope for some more positive results as he takes on Arizona, who has lost five-straight contests and is last in the NHL in shots per game (25.0).
