Rangers’ Kaapo Kakko still stewing over Game 2 scratch
NY Post
SUNRISE, Fla. — Kaapo Kakko, for the moment, is back in the Rangers’ lineup.
But the winger was still less than thrilled Monday when his Game 2 healthy scratch came up.
“All the players want to play,” Kakko said. “So, not happy.”
Kakko has yet to record a point in this Eastern Conference Final, though he played a role in Alex Wennberg’s overtime winner in Game 3, and has just a goal and an assist in these playoffs as a whole.
He readily admitted that he has not played his best game against the Panthers.
But the Finn’s second-ever healthy scratch in the playoffs, after Game 6 of the Conference Finals in Tampa two years ago, appeared to leave him stewing — even a few days after the fact.
