Kahkonen a bright spot vs. Preds in Sharks' seventh straight loss

Share

Sharks goalie Kaapo Kahkonen met with the media following his 40 save effort in the 1-0 overtime loss to Nashville.

Kaapo Kahkonen showed why the San Jose Sharks traded for him on Tuesday night.

Kahkonen stopped 40 of 41 shots, but it wasn’t enough as the Sharks dropped their seventh straight in a 1-0 overtime loss to the Nashville Predators.

“I wish we could’ve generated a little more, got that win for him,” Rudolfs Balcers said. “He hasn’t won a game for a while too.”

San Jose’s last victory was on Mar. 26 against Anaheim; Kahkonen’s was on Feb. 20 versus Edmonton.

Kahkonen is currently on an 0-8-2 winless streak.

At the Trade Deadline, the Sharks acquired Kahkonen and a 2022 fifth-round pick from Minnesota for Jake Middleton.
