Rangers’ Matt Rempe likely to suit up in Islanders rematch after ‘vicious’ hits in tense game
NY Post
The ever-evolving Battle of New York will enjoy one more regular-season clash on Saturday before the Rangers and Islanders potentially take their feud to the playoffs for the first time in three decades.
Whether or not Matt Rempe is a part of the Rangers playoff lineup — or if the Isles are even their first-round opponent — is still yet to be seen, but all signs at practice on Friday point to the 6-foot-8 ½ forward suiting up for at least this highly-anticipated rematch of Tuesday’s game on Long Island.
It should come as no surprise that Peter Laviolette would call on Rempe for this game, after the Rangers head coach called the Islanders out in his postgame press conference for a couple instances he took issue with in his club’s 4-2 loss.
The top of that list being Mika Zibanejad’s open-ice collision with Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech.
Laviolette called it “vicious” and said he thought it was intentional, which Isles head coach Patrick Roy and Pelech both vehemently denied.
“They’re looking for two points,” said Laviolette, who declined to confirm anything about the Rangers lineup. “I guarantee and promise you we’re looking for two points, as we were the other night. I know because of that it could be a good game, a competitive, spirited game.”
