Rempe Replaces Kakko in Rangers' Game 2 Lineup

Kaapo Kakko was a surprise healthy scratch for the New York Rangers in their Game 2 victory over the Panthers, with Matt Rempe taking his place in the lineup. Head coach Peter Laviolette made several lineup changes, including promoting Filip Chytil to the top line. The Rangers played with 11 forwards after Jimmy Vesey was injured, and if Vesey is unable to play in Game 3, Blake Wheeler may make his playoff debut. The Rangers are now 3-0 in overtime games this postseason.

Rangers face major setback as Kaapo Kakko suffers serious injury

The New York Rangers are making roster moves and plan to place forward Kaapo Kakko on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) due to a lower-body injury, which is not considered season-ending. In order to clear salary cap space, the Rangers will also place Filip Chytil on LTIR. Defenseman Adam Fox is expected to be activated from LTIR soon. Kakko's injury appears to be significant, while Chytil's return is expected in the near future. The Rangers will rely on Alexis Lafrenière and Blake Wheeler as their top right wingers in Kakko's absence, with Jonny Brodzinski and Adam Edström being recalled from the AHL to provide additional options.
