Matt Rempe was called up to the New York Rangers squad as he played in their 5-2 loss to St. Louis on Monday night. Louis Blues.
Rempe made headlines with his aggressive play, to put it mildly.
The 22-year-old was involved in a massive scrum that took place at the end of the second period and that was just the beginning of all the theatre.
In the third period, Rempe nailed Jake Neighbors in the neutral zone when he didn’t have the puck on what many considered a dirty play.
In the end, Rempe was given a very early roughing penalty for this play, further hampering the Rangers’ momentum.
After the game, the Rangers sent Rempe back to the Hartford Wolf Pack and promoted Chad Ruhwedel.
