Kakko scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko has three goals over his last six games. The 25-year-old is still playing on the third line, but he's chipping in some depth scoring. The winger is up to nine goals, 24 points, 64 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-9 rating across 46 appearances this season.

Kakko scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 win over Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko recorded the game's opening tally early in the second period. Overall, he is up to eight goals, 23 points and 58 shots on net across 43 games this season. Since returning from the Olympics, he has two goals on just two shots across the three appearances. Despite tallying just six goals prior to the Olympics, the 25-year-old Kakko tallied three twine finders in Milan for Finland, which has translated to his play at the NHL level. He could be in for a strong finish to the campaign while playing a middle-six role for the Kraken, who currently occupy a playoff spot in the Pacific Division. Kakko holds strong streaming value in various fantasy formats for the time being.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko didn't play in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Dallas, but he made his presence felt in this contest despite the fact that Seattle suffered yet another loss. Kakko has three points in his last four games, and he looked pretty good for Finland in the Olympics as well, but his fantasy prospects remain limited. Kakko has seven goals and 15 assists in 41 contests this season, and his bottom-six role in the lineup doesn't exactly help his chances of being a regular scoring threat.

Kakko had two goals and an assist in Team Finland's 11-0 win over Team Italy at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

His teammates were raving about Kakko after the game, reports Bill Price of NHL.com. "He made some awesome plays," teammate Olli Maatta said of Kakko. "And whenever he got chances, he made it count. So it's good to have a guy like that on your team when you know if he's going to get a chance, he's going to bury it." The 25-year-old winger went into the Games with 21 points, including six goals, in 40 games with Seattle. Kakko has struggled this season to follow-up on a career-best 44 points (14 goals, 30 assists) in 79 games between the Rangers and Kraken.

Kakko scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko found a loose puck after an Adam Larsson shot and put it away. That goal was the game-winner, Kakko's second such tally this season. The winger put up 12 points over 17 outings in January, and he's up to six goals, 20 points, 55 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-5 rating across 38 appearances. He's shaken off an injury-plagued start to the campaign and should be a productive part of Seattle's middle six for the remainder of the campaign.

Kakko scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko has remained fairly steady throughout January. He has three goals and seven assists over 12 contests, only one of which was a multi-point effort. The winger is up to a total of five goals, 18 points, 48 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating across 33 appearances. He's currently on the third line, which may suppress his scoring contributions for a while.

Kakko scored twice on three shots and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko did all his damage in the third period, which included him scoring the eventual game-winner midway through the frame. He ended an eight-game goal drought with the pair of tallies, though he wasn't cold -- the winger had six assists in that span. For the season, he's up to four goals, 10 helpers, four power-play points, 40 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 25 appearances.

Kakko logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on net and two hits in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko has four points over his last four games. This was his second contest back on a line with Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle following the Kraken's trade of Mason Marchment to Columbus on Friday. Kakko is up to seven points (three on the power play), 28 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 18 appearances, but he could get a boost on offense as long as he stays in the top six.

Kakko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Kakko scored late in the second period to put Seattle ahead 2-1, but the lead didn't last. The winger's goal was his first in nine games since he returned from a lower-body injury that cost him six contests. For the season, he's struggled to find a rhythm due to various injuries, which have limited him to five points, 23 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 16 appearances. Kakko is currently in a middle-six role and is unlikely to have a scoring breakout unless he finds his way back to the top line.

Kakko (illness) is slated to be in the lineup versus the Avalanche on Tuesday, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

EDGE Analysis
