Matt Rempe will become the first player to make his NHL debut in an outdoor game today against the Islanders, head coach Peter Laviolette confirmed.
The 6-foot-8, 245-pounder would provide a menacing presence, especially with the 6-foot-7 Adam Edström on the opposite wing, marking one of the biggest lines in the NHL! Standing at 18 feet, 6 inches. Weighing in at 674 lbs total!
Barclay Goodrow comments on his upcoming line mates, who is centering giants Edstrom and Rempe:
"I never thought I'd be on a line where I'm the shortest guy by five inches."
The Rangers enter today's contest on a six-game winning streak, tied with the 2014-15 Kings for the longest win streak by a team entering an outdoor game.
