Matt Rempe Short Stint Back With Rangers Ends With Controversial Hit

Matt Rempe was called up by the New York Rangers as he played in their 5-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.

Rempe made some headlines with his aggressive play to put it lightly.

The 22-year-old was involved with a massive scrum that took place at the end of the second period and that was just the start of all the theatrics.

In the third period, Rempe nailed Jake Neighbors in the neutral zone when he didn’t have the puck in what many considered a dirty play.

Ultimately, Rempe received a very untimely roughing penalty due to that play, hindering the Rangers’ momentum even further.

The Rangers sent Rempe back down to Hartford Wolf Pack following the game and elevated Chad Ruhwedel.
