Happy Brennan Ohtmann Day.

The Rangers top prospect makes his NHL debut on Thursday at The Garden when the Blueshirts take on the Blackhawks.

They might also get a reinforcement back sooner than most expected. Kaapo Kakko was on the ice at morning skate Thursday. Kakko has been out since he had a bad lower-body injury on Nov. 29.

He was in a red non-contact jersey Thursday, but being back on the ice should mean he could be back playing sometime this month.

To talk about that and the debut of Ohtmann, it’s time for a new episode of the “Up In The Blue Seats” podcast with Brian Boyle, Mollie Walker and Andrew Harts.
