Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen insists it's not a competition. But whatever it is, Minnesota is hoping to ride the wave for as long as possible.
Kahkonen was superb again on Tuesday night, stopping 31 shots in a 3-0 Wild victory over the Arizona Coyotes at Xcel Energy Center.
Kahkonen's shutout, his second in his past three starts, comes on the heels of back-to-back performances where Cam Talbot, the Wild's other goaltender, allowed just one goal in two games against these same Coyotes.
