During tonight's game, Kaapo Kakko had to leave the ice after a hit sustained with 5:00 remaining in the 2nd period. The winger, with 2 goals and 1 assist in 19 games this season, has a history of injuries throughout his 5-year NHL career.
The severity of the injury was evident as Kakko needed assistance leaving the ice. This unfortunate incident may prompt the Rangers to consider calling up a player like Brennan Othmann or exploring options to address the 3rd right-wing position.
With uncertainty surrounding Filip Chytil's return and Adam Fox expected to play on Wednesday, the Rangers face challenges with Kakko ruled out for the rest of the current contest. Further updates on Kakko's condition are expected to follow.
