Matt Rempe made his NHL debut with the New York Rangers in a game against the St. Louis Blues, which ended in a 5-2 loss for his team.

His aggressive style of play drew attention, particularly during a significant altercation at the end of the second period and a controversial hit on Jake Neighbors in the third.

Despite his physicality, Rempe's actions led to a roughing penalty that disrupted the Rangers' flow, resulting in his reassignment to the Hartford Wolf Pack after the game.
