Rangers' Matt Rempe: Sent down Thursday
Rotowire
Rempe was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Thursday.
Rempe has played in just two of the Rangers' first seven games, logging five hits and one blocked shot. The 22-year-old forward will get more playing time with Hartford, but even if he eventually returns to the NHL, he has little to offer outside of physical play.

Rangers' Matt Rempe: Lays lumber in preseason win
Rotowire
Rempe recorded a game-hit seven hits while adding two PIM, a blocked shot and a minus-1 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 preseason win over the Devils.
The 22-year-old became an instant fan favorite last season as a rookie due to his physical play, racking up 71 PIM and 50 hits in only 17 games, and Rempe doesn't look like he intends to go easy on the opposition in 2024-25. His fourth-line role and lack of offensive upside keep him off the fantasy radar in most formats, but in leagues where hits and PIM have value, Rempe can be very useful.

Rangers' Matt Rempe: Opens flurry of scoring
Rotowire
Rempe opened the scoring in the second period during Sunday's 4-1 Game 1 win over the Capitals.
The fan-favorite forward got the crowd into a frenzy with his goal 4:17 into the second period, and the Rangers rode the wave, adding two more goals in the next 2:06. Rempe added a plus-2 rating, two shots, two PIM and three hits in just 8:33 of ice time. He's no Artemi Panarin with the puck on his stick, but Rempe's physicality and penchant for penalties can provide surprising value in the right formats. In 18 career games including Sunday's, the 6-foot-7 winger has 73 PIM.

Rangers' Matt Rempe: Draws into last two games
Rotowire
Rempe was in the lineup for the last two games of the regular season and finished the 2023-24 campaign with one goal, one assist, 50 hits and 71 PIM in 17 appearances.
Rempe will be an option on the fourth line for the Rangers in the postseason, as coach Peter Laviolette will be deciding between Rempe's physicality and Jonny Brodzinski's superior skill and speed for the final forward spot when the team's healthy up front. Rempe quickly became a fan favorite at MSG by throwing around his 6-foot-7, 241-pound frame with reckless abandon, and his physical style threw numerous opponents off their game despite Rempe averaging just 5:38 TOI.

Rempe was sent down to make him eligible for the AHL playoffs. The 21-year-old has played eight games with the Rangers this year, recording one goal and one assist to go along with 24 hits.

Rangers' Matt Rempe: Better door than window
Rotowire
Rempe scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia.
It was his first NHL point in his fourth game this season with the Rangers. The rookie forward was standing in front of Samuel Ersson when a puck tipped by Barclay Goodrow deflected in off his leg. At 6-foot-7 and 241 pounds, Rempe makes a better door than window, so Ersson had no chance. There may come a point where the Rangers consider parking Rempe in front of the net on the power play. He has never been a strong scorer at any level, but he's a real handful for opponents. Rempe also added five more PIM in Saturday's contest to give him a total of 27 so far.
