Rangers' Matt Rempe: Facing long-term absence

Rempe (upper body) is out indefinitely, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports Tuesday.

Rempe sustained a long-term injury in Thursday's 6-5 overtime loss to San Jose. He has chipped in one goal, eight shots on net, 30 hits and seven PIM across nine appearances this season. Once Rempe receives the green light to play again, he will be in the mix for a fourth-line role.
