Matt Rempe ‘getting close’ to long-awaited Rangers return as he takes big practice step
NY Post
Matt Rempe continues to gradually fight his way back to the Rangers’ lineup.
The 6-foot-9 slugger shed the red noncontact jersey and was a full participant in practice Friday for the first time since Oct. 23, when he was injured in a bout with San Jose enforcer Ryan Reaves.
“He will not play tomorrow,” Rangers coach Mike Sullivan said, referring to Saturday’s game against the Canadiens at the Garden. “He was in full contact today. Given the time frame that he’s been out, we think it’s important that he gets a couple of practices under his belt in a full capacity.
“We’ll monitor as he goes, but he’s getting close.”
After practice, Rempe was seen giving fighting tips on the ice to teammates Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson.
Injured defenseman Adam Fox (upper body) skated on his own before the session. The one-time Norris Trophy winner has been sidelined since Nov. 29 and was placed on long-term injured reserve.
