Per Colin Stephenson, the Matt Rempe injury is going to be longer than many had hoped. Rempe did not return to the game against San Jose after his fight with Ryan Reaves, and has been out with an upper body injury. He didn’t travel with the team, which was always a red flag, and since he directly punched Reaves’ helmet a few times, we can infer the actual injury.
Brennan Othmann was recalled following the injury, and it’s expected he will stick with the Rangers for a bit until either Rempe is healthy or someone else from Hartford is “more ready.” What he does with this opportunity is up to him.
