Kaapo Kakko is set to return tomorrow after a stint on the COVID list. It looks like Colin Blackwell will be the healthy scratch, despite his very strong play this season.
#NYR doing some rushes now and lines look like this…
Laf – Mika – Buch
Kreider – Strome – Kakko
Rooney – Chytil – Gauthier
Lemieux – Howden – PDGInteresting that Blackwell is just watching for this portion of practice.

There is very little justification for having Blackwell as the healthy scratch.
