In his debut NHL game at MetLife Stadium, the 6'8" forward wasted no time dropping the gloves with veteran fighter Matt Martin, earning respect from his teammates.
However, in tonight's game against the New Jersey Devils, Rempe found himself in potential suspension territory.
New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe got ejected just 10 seconds into his shift.
Matthew Rempe was ejected from the game after delivering a dangerously high hit near the boards on Devils forward Nathan Bastian. Considering Bastian's size, the impact of the hit was significant.
There's speculation about disciplinary action for Rempe, especially considering his questionable track record from his AHL days with the Hartford Wolf Pack.
It remains to be seen if the NHL Department of Player Safety will schedule a hearing regarding the incident.
