Kaapo Kakko on the list of NHL COVID protocols

Kaapo Kakko is on the NHL list of COVID protocols. The obvious concern for Kakko is that he is diabetic and certainly a candidate for a higher risk of complications.

At the moment, the information is limited, as he may simply have had a positive test that requires follow-up. There have been false positives so far in the league. Despite everything, we wish him and everyone in the Rangers organization good health.

PS COVID is still a real threat – please be safe and well.
