I wish Dubnyk a speedy recovery, but with the team playing well I'm more than a little curious to see if Kahkonen sinks or swims. Not sure if we'll actually see him start, but at home vs LA might be the time to give it a try.

With the day off between the Preds and Kings games... unless Stalock looks utterly terrible vs the Preds (very possible), I see Alex getting both games.

Throw him to the wolves for one game. Just do it!

The other possibility would be against Dallas since they play St Louis the day after, but I wouldn't be surprised if Dubnyk's already back by then.

Yeah, based on the "not serious" comments from Russo thus far anyway.

Would love to see kaapo get a start.

he’s been brutal in the A this year

2.95 GAA and .886 save %. Not sure I'd call it brutal without watching him. Too small of sample size.

That’s fair. I was purely stat watching

 

[Wild11MN]

Anyone seen any Iowa games this year who can chime in?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Really interesting, Robson has the much better stat line.

2GP 3GA 1.44GAA .949sv%

4GP 12GA 2.95GAA .886sv%

Sample size does make these pretty useless though. Encouraged to see how Robson does as the #1 for a little bit in Iowa. Was always an annoying stone wall for the gophers...

My guess, they don't plan on playing KK (both in the call up or in the upcoming baby Wild game(s)), thus calling him up allows Robson to play his expected starts in upcoming Iowa games?

That does seem likely, especially with Iowa rolling.

Too few GP down in Iowa to determine anything. Can't help them that they are missing Soucy, Mayhew, and Dumont. Stalock is not exactly a brick wall so I won't be surprised to see KK.

Stalock been pretty good so far, at least as far as the stats go, this year. That could change very quickly, but ride him for as long as he's putting up good numbers.

Don't think they should expect Soucy any time soon.

They are also 4-0 with Kähkönen in net, but yeah, small sample size.

They don’t seem to be missing Soucy, Mayhew and Dumont. 5 wins and one shootout loss. No regulation losses.

Iowa hasn't played since last weekend. Dumont has played in 5 of 6 games and Mayhew 4 of 6 for Iowa so far this year.

Well, then they really don't miss them with no games being played!

Depending how long dubby is out, kahkonen may get a game coming up with the double header

 

[57special]

Would be great for him to get a game in.

I'd be shocked if he gets a game at this point. I think it's clear he got the call because they wanted Robson to start in Iowa, and Kaapo is just here to warm the bench and would only get on the ice in case of Stalock injury.

Dubs is already practicing and by all accounts is feeling much better. Pretty sure Dubs will get one of the back to back games coming up Tuesday and Wednesday, with Stalock getting one as well.
