Kakko delivered two assists Saturday in an 8-3 loss to Florida.

Kakko has delivered two, 40-point seasons to mark the high point of his offensive career. But this season, he has stepped up his game and has two goals and six assists in nine games. We're not going overboard here -- Kakko has just eight shots and his 25.0 shooting percentage is bloated at best. But 2026-27 could finally be the year of the Kakko as a solid secondary NHL scorer.
