Matt Rempe, a 6-foot-8 rookie, is set to make his NHL debut for the New York Rangers in front of 70,000 fans during the Stadium Series matchup against the New York Islanders. Laviolette confirmed Rempe's debut. Rempe had a memorable first career shift with Matt Martin.
Really cool stuff from Matt Rempe postgame. Matt Martin asked him if he wanted to go on his first shift and Rempe happily obliged. Martin told him he has a longer reach than Z’deno Chara. One of the coolest first career shifts I can think of. #NYR https://t.co/A1bXhaEXmW
