There was some good news sprinkled in with some of the bad variety Tuesday, when New York Rangers coach Mike Sullivan shared injury updates for forwards Matt Rempe and Vincent Trocheck.
Getting the bad news out of the way first, Rempe is out “longer term” with an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old sustained the injury last Thursday in a fight with San Jose Sharks enforcer — and former Blueshirt — Ryan Reaves. Ironically, it was Rempe’s first fight of the season, and now it’s going to cost him significant time out of the lineup.
