Matt Rempe likely will be back in Rangers’ lineup vs. Bruins

The Garden faithful will likely get what they asked for.

Chants of ‘We Want Rempe!’ engulfed MSG at the end of the Rangers’ 4-2 loss to the Jets on Tuesday, loud enough for Matt Rempe to hear in the press box while serving as a healthy scratch in the first game he was eligible to play after completing a four-game suspension for a high-elbowed hit on the Devils’ Jonas Siegenthaler.

Peter Laviolette must’ve heard it, too, and the head coach conducted practice on Wednesday as if he plans to not only give the people what they want, but also give the Rangers what they need.

“I feel [Tuesday] was a boring game, it was so quiet, nothing happened,” Kaapo Kakko said. “So something like that can get the boys going.”

All signs point to Rempe having the opportunity to do just that against the Bruins in Boston on Thursday, when the Rangers will require every bit of the 6-foot-8 ¹/₂ forward’s imposing presence to contend with the NHL’s points leader.

The Rangers are in serious need of a physical boost after losing Jacob Trouba and Ryan Lindgren to lower-body injuries, and Rempe will certainly help fill that void. He took reps in his usual spot on the right wing of the fourth line alongside Jimmy Vesey and Barclay Goodrow, which is a line that has outscored opponents 2-0 in 12:51 of ice time, according to Natural Stat Trick.
