New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe is setting the NHL abuzz with his aggressive style of play. The 6-foot-8, 21-year-old has amassed an impressive 22 penalty minutes in just three games since making his debut less than a week ago. In his latest game against the Philadelphia Flyers, Rempe engaged in a heated fight with Flyers tough guy Nick Deslauriers, showcasing his ability to hold his own in intense on-ice battles.

The altercation between Rempe and Deslauriers is being hailed as one of the best fights of the season, adding to the excitement surrounding the young player's entry into the league. Rempe's physical presence has not gone unnoticed, with spectators anticipating his every move on the ice.

Notably, Rempe made his NHL debut at MetLife Stadium during the Rangers' Stadium Series game against the New York Islanders, where he wasted no time asserting himself by engaging in a fight with Islanders tough guy Matt Martin after just one second of ice time. This bold move set the tone for Rempe's aggressive playstyle, which was further highlighted by a controversial hit on the New Jersey Devils' Nate Bastian in a subsequent game.

With a total of 27 penalty minutes through three games, Rempe's limited ice time has not hindered his impact on the games he plays. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly watching to see how this rookie powerhouse continues to shake up the NHL with his fearless approach to the game.
