Matt Rempe seems to be making strides in his recovery from an upper-body injury.
Shortly after the New York Rangers’ 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings last week, Rempe was listed as week-to-week with an upper-body injury.
How exactly did Rempe sustain this mysterious injury? We still don’t know the answer to that, but what we do know is that he has missed the past two games.
The 22-year-old forward returned to practice with the Rangers on Tuesday in a green non-contact jersey, indicating progress in his recovery.
The Rangers have eight games remaining this season, and it’s unclear if Rempe will return beforehand, as week-to-week is a broad timeline.
In 36 games this season, Rempe has recorded two goals, three assists and five points while averaging 7:59 minutes.
