VIDEO: Kaapo Kakko Mania Continues With Best Goal Yet at IIHF World Championships
By Mark Powell
Kaapo Kakko is making the New Jersey Devils' life much more difficult with the top overall selection in the 2019 NHL Draft. While Jack Hughes is rightfully considered the best prospect in this year's class, Kaapo's performance at IIHF Worlds is...other-worldly, to say the least. On Thursday, he turned in yet another work of art, and it was his best yet.
Kaapo Kakko just scored his sixth goal of the tournament and it may be his prettiest. 1-1. #IIHFworld #NHLDraft pic.twitter.com/msn7VZcENn

Finland is so heavily reliant on Kakko, especially because they lack much other NHL talent. Even with the focus squarely on him, Kakko has six goals so far in the tournament and we aren't even to the knockout stage.
