Kakko left Seattle's preseason game early in the week with an upper-body injury and is now expected to miss the next six weeks after it was announced he suffered a broken hand. The 24-year-old is entering his first full season in Seattle after being acquired from New York last season and putting up career highs in points (44) across 79 games played. Kakko is expected to play a pivotal top-six role for Seattle this season when he returns to the lineup.
