"Just before Celebrini's goal, Sharks winger Ryan Reaves and Rangers forward Matt Rempe renewed acquaintances in a marquee fight between two of the NHL's true heavyweights. Reaves, listed at 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, landed at least two big right hands while Rempe, at 6-foot-9 and 261 pounds, used his longer reach to connect with a few left hands. Reaves came out of the fight unscathed, but Rempe had to retreat to the Rangers' dressing room,"
"Gaudette's goal just 1:58 into the first period came off a pretty passing sequence, with Collin Graf and Michael Misa collecting assists on a play that began below the Rangers' goal line. Reaves and Rempe are no strangers to one another. The two also fought on March 2, 2024, when Reaves was with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The fight was Reaves' second this season and Rempe's first."
San Jose opened the game with early first-period goals from Adam Gaudette and Macklin Celebrini, giving the Sharks a 2-0 lead. A center-ice fight between Ryan Reaves and Matt Rempe occurred just before Celebrini's first goal, with Reaves landing big right hands and Rempe using his long reach; Rempe retreated to the dressing room and did not return for the second period. Taylor Raddysh scored for the Rangers at 14:19 after a shot that appeared to glance off Vincent Desharnais. Celebrini scored again with 8.1 seconds left before intermission to make it 3-1. The Sharks entered Thursday still without a win at 0-4-2.
