New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe has wasted no time making his mark in the NHL, engaging in fights against notable opponents like Jonas Siegenthaler of the New Jersey Devils, Matt Martin of the New York Islanders, Nic Deslauriers of the Philadelphia Flyers, and Mathieu Olivier of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Rempe has garnered attention for his willingness to take on tough opponents despite his limited NHL experience. Facing off against Reaves, a seasoned heavyweight, presents a significant challenge for the young forward. However, Rempe's fearlessness has already made him a noteworthy figure in the league, and a showdown with Reaves on Hockey Night in Canada could further elevate his profile.
Reaves, known for his tough playing style, has been a key presence for the Maple Leafs, particularly in February. A recent viral moment saw him taking down Liam O'Brien of the Arizona Coyotes in a spirited bout. Clearly relishing his reputation as a formidable opponent, Reaves appears eager for the opportunity to demonstrate his dominance once again.
