Canadiens' Kaapo Kahkonen: Sent down after Sunday's game

Kahkonen was loaned to AHL Laval on Sunday.

Kahkonen will return to the minors in short order after being brought up due to Sam Montembeault missing Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Blues because of an illness. The 29-year-old Kahkonen has not appeared in an NHL game in 2025-26.
