Is New York Rangers forward, Matt Rempe’s fighting ability going to be tested again tonight at The Garden?
Some observers believe that this is the case.

The Senators have promoted 20-year-old center Zack Ostapchuk, the 39th pick in the 2021 Draft. At 6-3, 205 pounds, the rookie center played Juniors for both Vancouver and Winnipeg in the WHL.
Rempe and Ostapchuk squared off while playing in the Western League, and Ostapchuk got the last lick in.
Granted, he gives away a lot of inches and plenty of pounds to the 6-8.5 Ranger but, then again, anyone The Remper fights is going to give away plenty to Man Mountain Matt.
As of this morning, it appeared that Rempe will be in the lineup, on the fourth line again tonight.
More interestingly, coach Peter Laviolette seems to be confident in Rempe — enough to consider playing him in playoff games!
Considering tonight’s game is virtually bereft of meaning — except for an obvious Rangers win and the Presidents’ Trophy, this may be the co-main event in a potential banner night at Madison Square Garden.
