Kahkonen was selected by the Wild in the fourth round (No. 109) the 2014 NHL Draft, not long after he had a 2.20 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in 10 playoff games to help Blues win the championship in Finland's under-20 league.
He opted to remain in Finland, and made his pro debut in 2014-15 with Tuto in Mestis, the country's second-highest league. In 47 games he had a 2.11 GAA and .925 save percentage, was named the league's best goalie and rookie of the year, and even scored a goal during the playoffs.
The following season Kahkonen joined Blues in Liiga, Finland's top professional league, and went 6-15-5 with a 2.69 GAA and .908 save percentage in 27 games, and also helped Finland win the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship, going 4-0 with a 2.52 GAA and .909 save percentage in four games.
Seeking more playing time, Kahkonen signed with Lukko in 2016. In 2016-17 he was 12-12-10 with a 2.58 GAA and .921 save percentage in 34 games, and 20-23-12 with a 2.20 GAA and .922 save percentage in 56 games in 2017-18.
Kahkonen signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Wild on May 16, 2018, and was assigned to Iowa of the American Hockey League for the 2018-19 season. In 39 games he was 17-14-8 with a 2.78 GAA, .908 save percentage and league-best six shutouts, and played in the AHL All-Star Game.
He was even better with Iowa in 2019-20, leading the AHL in wins (25) and shutouts (seven) in 34 games, with a 2.07 GAA and .927 save percentage, and won the Baz Bastien Memorial Award as the league's best goalie.
Kahkonen also made his NHL debut that season, making 32 saves in a 3-2 win against the New Jersey Devils on Nov. 26, 2019. He went 3-1-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .913 save percentage in five games.
He left enough of an impression that he spent 2020-21 competing with Cam Talbot for playing time. Kahkonen won three of his first six starts, then won nine in a row from Feb. 18 to March 16, the fifth-longest winning streak by a rookie goalie in NHL history. During the streak he had his first shutout, making 26 saves in 2-0 win against the Vegas Golden Knights on March 8, 2021.
Kahkonen's 16 wins in 2020-21 were the most ever by a Wild rookie. One season later he was traded to the San Jose Sharks on March 21, 2022, and returned to the Sharks on a two-year contract July 18, 2022. He was traded to the Devils on March 8, 2024, and signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets on July 1, 2024. The Colorado Avalanche then claimed him off waivers from the Jets on Oct. 11. He returned to Winnipeg when he was reclaimed off waivers from the Avalanche on Nov. 12, and was traded to the Florida Panthers on March 6, 2025.
Kahkonen signed a one-year, $1.15 million contract with the Montreal Canadiens on July 1, 2025.
