SUNRISE, Fla. -- Kaapo Kakko was back in the New York Rangers' lineup for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Florida Panthers on Sunday, replacing injured winger Jimmy Vesey.

Kakko was a healthy scratch for Game 2. He had 13 goals and six assists in the regular season, along with one goal and one assist in his first 11 appearances in this year's playoffs, entering Sunday.

The Panthers did not make any lineup changes for Game 3.
