New York Rangers rookie enforcer Matt Rempe has quickly made a name for himself in the league during his 10-game stint. Despite his short time, he's already taken on tough opponents like Ryan Reaves, Nicolas Deslauriers, Matt Martin, and Mathieu Olivier. However, he also faced disciplinary action, serving a four-game suspension for intentionally elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler in the head.
He specifically mentioned that he didn't want Rempe to fight Kurtis MacDermid of the Devils early in the game because the Rangers believed Rempe's earlier hit on Nathan Bastian was clean. Additionally, Laviolette highlighted how referees intervened in a fight following the Siegenthaler hit.
