It was five days before Christmas and Kaapo Kakko had no idea what he would be doing — or who he’d be doing it with — on the big day.

"I don’t know yet,’’ Kakko said, in a telephone interview on Monday. "Maybe I’m going to eat some Finnish Christmas food or something like that, but I’m not sure yet. I need to talk with the teammates.’’

A third-year forward for the Rangers, Kakko is celebrating his third Christmas in New York.
