Four Iowa Wild players — goalie Kaapo Kahkonen, defenseman Brennan Menell and forwards Sam Anas and Gerry Mayhew — were named to American Hockey League postseason all-star teams Wednesday.
Kahkonen, Menell and Anas made the first team, Mayhew the second.
Kahkonen had a league-high 25 wins and seven shutouts, and his goals-against average (2.07) and save percentage (.927) also ranked among the best in the AHL. Overall, he went 25-6-3.
Menell's 42 assists were tops among AHL defensemen, and his 47 points finished second. Anas led the AHL in assists (50) and points (70), and Mayhew scored a league-high 39 goals.
Mayhew, Menell and Kahkonen also made their NHL debuts during the season with the Wild.
