Kaapo Kahkonen News: Inks one-year deal

Kahkonen signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Canadiens on Wednesday.

Kahkonen spent the entire 2025-26 season with AHL Laval, going 21-9-7 with a 2.73 GAA and .895 save percentage across 38 regular-season appearances. He'll remain in the organization for the 2026-27 campaign but could have to settle for a minor-league role once again.
