Sends helper in win Kakko logged an assist and two hits in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Kraken.

First goal in eight games Kakko scored a goal in a 6-3 loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Impact The goal was his first in eight games, and the point was his first in five contests. Kakko has managed a modest eight points (two goals, six assists) in 14 games, and if he can maintain the pace, he'll establish a new career mark in points (40 is his best; 2022-23). Kakko could even see an uptick in production, as his 8.3 shooting percentage is well below his 12.0 career mark.

Rangers re-sign winger Kaapo Kakko to a $2.4 million contract for next season

The New York Rangers have re-signed Kaapo Kakko to a one-year contract worth $2.4 million

JUNE 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Agrees to one-year deal Kakko has signed a one-year, $2.4 million contract with the Rangers on Thursday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kakko was set to become a restricted free agent in July after completing his two-year, $4.2 million contract. He struggled in 2023-24, recording just 13 goals and 19 points across 61 regular-season contests after setting career highs with 18 goals and 40 points in 82 outings in 2022-23. The 23-year-old can't be counted out at the age of 23, but he certainly hasn't lived up to his potential after being selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. Look for him to open next season as a part of the Rangers' bottom six.

Impact Kakko set up a Will Cuylle tally in the first period. Through eight playoff outings, Kakko has two points, 12 shots on net, six hits and a plus-1 rating. The winger had just 19 points over 61 regular-season games, and his lack of steady offense is a large reason why he's been limited to a bottom-six role in the postseason.
