Just moments ago, the New York Rangers and head coach Mike Sullivan provided a massive update on forward Matt Rempe, who is currently on LTIR with an upper-body injury.
Back on October 23rd, New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe was involved in a very heated altercation with San Jose Sharks enforcer Ryan Reaves and was forced to exit the game early after sustaining an upper-body injury.
Something that has continued to develop into a bigger issue for the New York Rangers, as the 23-year-old forward has landed himself on Long-Term Injured Reserve (LTIR).
Got a little clarity on the Matt Rempe injury. My understanding is that he'll be out for multiple weeks, if not months. It's not considered season-ending but I'm not expecting a return until some point later in the season. #NYR
Confirmed: Trocheck comes off LTIR and Rempe moves onto it. That makes the #NYR cap compliant.
Definitely some terrible news for the Rangers, as Rempe provides the team with the toughness factor and a sense of safety, something the Rangers could use right about now.
However, Mike Sullivan and the New York Rangers have just provided a significant update on the forward.
