Rangers call up Matt Rempe as Chris Kreider faces injury setback

The New York Rangers are making significant changes to their lineup as Chris Kreider is sidelined with an upper-body injury. Matt Rempe has been called up, joining Brett Berard, who is set to make his NHL debut against the Blues. Filip Chytil, cleared from a concussion, is still not ready to play, leading to Kaapo Kakko taking on a center role. This adjustment comes as the Rangers look to improve after a disappointing road trip. The Rangers are also reportedly open to trades, indicating a desire for further changes. The recent lineup shakeup reflects the team's need to address performance issues and inject new energy into their game.
