A stretch of alternating good and bad performances continued tonight, as the Columbus Blue Jackets earned a 4-2 win over the league-leading New York Rangers.
First Period
Matt Rempe has made a splash in his NHL debut this week, with two fights and 27 PIM in his first four games. Prior to this one, he challenged Mathieu Olivier during warmups. On their first shift together, Olivier obliged. Despite giving up half a foot to the 6’7″ rookie, Olivier landed the bigger punches and earned the takedown.
