New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe hasn’t spent much time in the NHL yet, but he’s been throwing hands like a seasoned veteran since his arrival in February.
Rempe has played in just 10 NHL games, and he’s set to miss a handful more after landing a four-game suspension as a result of his dangerous hit against New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler during the Rangers’ 3–1 win on Monday at Madison Square Garden.
Rempe received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct as a result of his hit on Siegenthaler, and Devils defenseman Kurtis Macdermid, who was eager to drop gloves and have a go at Rempe, was also issued a major and sent for an early shower in the aftermath of the hit that left his teammate injured.
