Matt Rempe re-signed with the New York Rangers on a two-year contract that a person with knowledge of the deal said is worth $1.95 million.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because financial terms were not disclosed. Rempe will count $975,000 against the salary cap for the next two NHL seasons.
Rempe, 22, has played 70 regular-season and playoff games for the Rangers over the past two years, becoming a fan favorite and a popular teammate for his willingness to drop the gloves and fight as well as hitting any opponent he can.
