Cape Kakko on NHL COVID Protocol List

Cape Kakko is on the NHL’s COVID protocol list. The obvious issue with Kakko is the fact that he is a diabetic and definitely a candidate for higher risk complications.

At the moment, information is limited because he could only have one positive test that needed to be followed up. There have been false positives in the league so far. Regardless, we wish him and everyone in the Rangers organization good health.

PS COVID is still a real threat. Please be safe and healthy.

Cape Kakko (NYR) was also added to the NHL’s COVID protocol list today.
