Rangers' Matt Rempe to Undergo Second Thumb Procedure, Placed on IR

New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe is heading to injured reserve to undergo a second procedure on his left thumb, with his return timeline currently unclear. The 23-year-old initially broke his thumb in "many places" during an October 23 fight, leading to surgery and 24 missed games. Despite returning in mid-December, lingering issues impacted his performance, causing him to be a healthy scratch for seven games in January. Rempe, who has just one goal in 26 games this season, played briefly before the Olympic break.
