With that being said it's important to acknowledge that Matt Rempe will be tonight's lineup, considering he was just recalled to Rangers roster after being sent down to the AHL for two game.

According to reports head coach Peter Laviolette even confirmed that the young enforcer would in fact be in the lineup tonight, along with confirming that Igor Shesterkin will get the start tonight:
