Kaapo Kakko Scores First Career Goal in Rangers Loss
5 years agoNew York Rangers forward Kaapo Kakko scored the lone goal for the Rangers in a 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon. It was Kakko's first career goal after being drafted second overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Playing on the second line with Ryan Strome and Chris Kreider, Kakko isn't in the best position to succeed, especially as he sits on the second powerplay line with below-average talent. It will be interesting to see if Kakko can get a shot playing with the top players, as that will maximize his fantasy potential. Henrik Lundqvist had a day to forget between the pipes, allowing three goals on just 26 shots.
