He was given a match penalty on Feb. 22 for an illegal check to the head of forward Nathan Bastian.
“He was just tracking the hit,” Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette said in defense of Rempe. “I don’t want to comment too much on it until I see the hit again. I only saw it once live, but I hope Siegenthaler’s OK.”At the start of Monday night’s game, New Jersey’s newly-acquired tough guy Kurtis MacDermid attempted to drop the gloves with Rempe, who has already built a reputation as an enforcer after just 10 career NHL games with 54 penalty minutes.
