Overview
- Rempe was moved to injured reserve as the Rangers return from the Olympic break, leaving him out for Thursday’s game against the Flyers.
- The injury traces to an Oct. 23 bout with San Jose’s Ryan Reaves, after which Rempe said he broke his thumb in many places and later had surgery.
- He missed 24 games earlier in the season and, upon returning, struggled to control his stick, avoided fighting on doctors’ advice, and was a healthy scratch multiple times.
- The team has not provided a timeline for his recovery, with reporters noting he has not been officially ruled out for the rest of the season.
- Rempe has one goal, a minus‑4 rating and 11 penalty minutes in 26 games this season, serving in a fourth‑line role in the first year of a two‑year, $975,000‑AAV deal.
