Kahkonen was placed on waivers yesterday because of a three-goalie situation for the Jets involving Eric Comrie and Connor Hellebuyck. Now, he joins another three-goalie rotation in Colorado with Jusuts Annunen and Alexandar Georgiev.

The 28-year-old Finnish goaltender will join fellow Fins Mikko Rantanen and Artturi Lehkonen.
