Kahkonen will patrol the crease during Thursday's road game versus the Oilers, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Kahkonen has been decent with the Wild this season, going 12-8-3 while posting a 2.87 GAA and a .910 save percentage through 25 appearances. He'll try to secure his first win as a Shark in a road matchup with an Edmonton team that's averaging 3.48 goals per game at home this season, eighth in the NHL.
