Believe the hype.
Fans were super excited when the Rangers got the chance to draft Kaapo Kakko with the No. 2 pick overall this summer, and the 18-year-old Finnish rookie is showing why.
Kakko had his first two-goal game in the NHL on Tuesday, with the second one coming 2:24 into overtime to give the Rangers a 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were playing without their captain, Sidney Crosby.
Skating in the 3-on-3 overtime period, Kakko drove the net and tipped in a pass from Adam Fox, who also had a goal in regulation, for the winner.
