Kahkonen will defend the blue paint during Tuesday's home game versus the Coyotes, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Kahkonen wasn't great in his last start Nov. 21 versus Tampa Bay, surrendering four goals on just 24 shots en route to a 5-4 defeat. The 25-year-old netminder will try to secure his third win of the year in a favorable home matchup with an Arizona team that's 3-9-1 on the road this year.
