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.

Captain Jacob Trouba, who has struggled of late and recently heard his name in trade rumors for the second time in six months, fought Montreal’s Josh Anderson early in Saturday’s game. The Canadiens presumably wanted New York’s captain to answer the bell for a hit he made earlier this season on Justin Barron, and he obliged.

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.
