Matt Rempe makes ‘impact’ and gets in fight in return to lineup

Matt Rempe was back in the Rangers lineup for their 4-1 win over the Lightning on Tuesday night, after the 6-foot-9 forward served as a healthy scratch in six straight games following the season-opening loss in Boston. Replacing Jaroslav Chmelar on the right wing of the fourth line, Rempe and the rest of his linemates saw a limited opportunity because head coach Mike Sullivan cut his bench down late in the game.
