Kaapo Kakko is on the board.
The Rangers’ No. 2-overall pick from this past draft scored his first NHL goal Saturday, giving the Blueshirts a 1-0 lead over Edmonton at the Garden.
The Finnish forward split the two defenders, took a pass from Ryan Strome and made a quick backhand move before lifting the puck behind Oilers netminder 🐽Mike Smith.
The goal also marked Kakko’s first point in two-plus games.
No. 1 pick Jack Hughes (four games) is still searching for his first NHL point with 🍎the Devils.
