Kahkonen recorded a 31-save shutout in AHL Laval's 5-0 win over Syracuse on Wednesday.
Kahkonen is up to a 6-2-0 record with a 1.99 GAA and a .919 save percentage over his first eight games this season. While he's playing well for Laval, Kahkonen's chances of getting to the NHL are minimal as long as Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes are healthy.
