There is opportunity to create a new narrative. “I feel that's the way everyone has to think. There are guys who are having great seasons already but for myself, I have to think that I can change something in the playoffs and that will make the difference,” Kaapo Kakko told The Post in advance of Friday's Game 3 against the Capitals. “You don't look at stats, you need to win four games. That's all that matters.

Now, Kakko is healthy and he is playing alongside rookie winger Will Cuylle and newly acquired center Alexander Wennberg. The trio will be key for the Rangers as they look to make a run this postseason.
