Kaapo Kakko scored the tiebreaking power-play goal with 24 seconds left as the New York Rangers ended their first five-game losing streak in over three years with a 4-3 victory over the visiting Montreal Canadiens on Saturday afternoon.

Trade rumors involving the New York Rangers continue to heat up. Kaapo Kakko’s name has reportedly resurfaced in trade discussions according to TSN’s Darren Dreger. However, Dreger adds that it doesn't necessarily mean the Rangers will actually give up Kakko given that he is still a young forward with potential.

It’s been a whirlwind of a week for the Rangers, who had descended into a state of unrest amid a five-game losing streak that set off a siren throughout the organization.
