A couple of days after New York Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant characterized Kaapo Kakko’s upper-body injury as “nothing serious” and said he was “day-to-day,” the bench boss has now said that the young Finnish forward, who was a late injury scratch from Saturday’s 7-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes, is “week-to-week.” This after a certain writer guessed that Kakko would not miss much time.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are down another forward for the time being, as Filip Chytil is still “day-to-day” following his departure from Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury.
