RW - Seattle Kraken
Next Game
Availability
Kaapo Kakko recorded an assist and logged 19:00 of ice time, contributing one shot, two hits, and a takeaway. His time on the penalty kill was minimal.
Fantasy Impact
Kakko’s assist reflects his growing offensive consistency, but his overall ceiling remains capped by limited opportunities in Seattle’s lineup. He’s a streaming option in deep leagues or formats emphasizing secondary stats like hits.
Kaapo Kakko picked up one assist in the Rangers' 7-5 loss to the Kraken Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Kakko has made minimal impact in the offensive zone, notching points in just three of his last nine games (one goal, two assists) for the Rangers. The 23-year-old is a reliable depth option as part of a disappointing New York forward group, notching 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) to go along with 14 penalty minutes and 17 hits in 26 games so far this season.
Kaapo Kakko was able to light the lamp for the Rangers Thursday night, scoring one goal in a 7-4 win over the Canadiens.
Fantasy Impact
Kakko has caught fire in the offensive zone of late, recording points in each of his last three games (one goal, two assists) for the Rangers. The 23-year-old is one of many gritty forward options for head coach Peter Laviolette, recording nine points (six goals, three assists) to go along with 11 hits in 33 games so far this season.
Kaapo Kakko scored his second goal of the season in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.
Fantasy Impact
Kakko had gone exactly one month without a goal, and ten games over that stretch. The kid just can not seem to put it together, and for that reason, does not deserve to be rostered in standard formats of Fantasy Hockey. Leave him on the waiver wire unless you are in the deepest of dynasty leagues.
Kaapo Kakko scored his first goal of the season in the 4-1 win over the Kraken on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Kakko has always had potential, but for some reason, has yet to put it all together. He has always played with elite talent around him, so he has been given chances to succeed. The former top pick needs to score over 25 goals for this to be considered a successful season. He remains a deep-league option at best.
