"After his heavyweight bout with Ryan Reaves last week, Matt Rempe is set to be out "longer term" with an upper-body injury. Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan delivered the news to the New York Post's Mollie Walker ahead of his team's 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night. Reaves got the best of Rempe during the fight, stunning and dropping him with multiple hard right hands."
""He's a big boy, and you have to fight guys like that a little bit differently," Reaves said postgame. "I've seen him fight, so I know what he's good at, what his weaknesses are. It was a good tilt." Rempe, 23, only skated 19 seconds of ice time in the October 23 game and has been out of action since. In nine games this season, his first under Sullivan, Rempe is averaging 9:48 of ice time per game and has scored one goal."
