Matt Rempe shocks many as he reveals his plan upon returning to the Rangers lineup
The New York Rangers have called up Matt Rempe from the Hartford Wolfpack. In doing so, they hope to give the Rangers needed energy. Last season, he was a polarizing figure in the NHL, but a fan favorite in New York. He shared his thoughts on a return to the NHL.
The New York Rangers will have Matt Rempe in the lineup tonight. This season Rempe has only played 4 NHL games, and was held scoreless during each contest.
The last game he played was on November 25th, 2024, and was against the St. Louis Blues. The enforcer would play 14 shifts, with 9:26 TOI, and 2 PIMs.
A disappointing endeavor for the forward that night, as he usually offers nothing but pure dominance on the ice, in crushing hits, and a willingness to protect his teammates.
Yet this time around, he'll be a multi-dimensional player of his own accord, as he said himself he wasn't to develop a game like Winnipeg Jets center Adam Lowry.
Rempe was asked today, about being recalled from Hartford:
He views his chance this time around, as an opportunity to show the Rangers he can enforce his will on the ice. He'll strive to play his game, and "Be a menace".
Mollie Walker would ask Rempe how he felt his time in Hartford helped him. He had nothing but a positive view of his time in Hartford, as he was able to play in multiple scenarios, including the PK.
Rempe's Opportunity
Matt Rempe will slot in on RW4 according to DailyFaceOff.
He'll flank Sam Carrick, and Adam Edstrom on the right and will be given the monstrous task of stopping the Dallas Stars, who are legitimate playoff contenders in the NHL.
One of the best teams in the West.
He'll have to go all-out, and prove to Peter Laviolette that he has what it takes to remain in the regular lineup.
The Rangers are 15-15-1 and need something to change, soon.
