The things Kaapo Kakko are going through aren’t unique to a teenager, although the fact the man-sized Finn the Rangers took with the No. 2 pick in June doesn’t turn 19 until Feb. 13 only exacerbates the situation. So for Kakko to now have gone 15 games without a goal, to have spent some time on the fourth line, and to have gone through his team’s first long trip out west this past week is trying.
But he doesn’t think he’s worn down more than anyone else.
“I think the same as every guy,” Kakko told The Post after the team’s light practice on Wednesday in Westchester as the Rangers prepare for the Maple Leafs to come into the Garden on Friday night.
