Jets' Kaapo Kahkonen: Signs one-year agreement
Kaapo Kahkonen signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.Kahkonen had a 7-24-3 record, 3.64 GAA and .898 save percentage across 37 contests between San Jose and New Jersey last season. He'll probably compete with Eric Comrie for the backup gig during training camp, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Kahkonen win that competition. Either way, Connor Hellebuyck will absorb the bulk of the starts in Winnipeg so long as he stays healthy.

Devils' Kaapo Kahkonen: Tough luck loss to Flyers
Kaapo Kahkonen made 20 saves Saturday in a 1-0 loss to the Flyers.The only puck that got past him came off the stick of Travis Konecny, who broke in alone shorthanded and beat Kahkonen with a wrist shot from the slot. It's been a rough go for Kahkonen this season. He's 7-24-3 in 33 appearances between San Jose and New Jersey, and while his GAA and save percentage have improved since the trade, Kahkonen hasn't been able to translate that better performance into wins. He's just 1-4-0 with one shutout in six starts with the New Jersey Devils. Kahkonen is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end, and his future is up in the air.

Kaapo Kahkonen earned a shutout in Sunday's 4-0 victory against the Islanders, stopping all 36 shots faced.It was Kahkonen's first win in three games for the New Jersey Devils after joining the club at the trade deadline.
