Matt Rempe's injury-filled 2025-26 season was a learning experience for the Rangers, where he was limited to 26 games due to a lingering thumb injury. Despite initially returning to the lineup after his first surgery, Rempe was placed on injured reserve and shut down for the rest of the season following a second surgery in February. He credits his honesty about his injury and determination to be more honest about his situation. Rempe will be competing in training camp with former Wolf Pack teammates for a bottom-six role next season.
