Fifty games into the Rangers season, Adam Edstrom has played in every single one. The 6-foot-7 rookie has emerged as a defensively reliable fourth-line winger who can lead the forechecking charge and make things happen in front of the net.

New York Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette issues statement on fan favourite enforcer Matt Rempe's recent performance since returning from his eight-game suspension.

Matt Rempe appears to have learned his lessons, and has become an important force on the New York Rangers fourth line.

In the early minutes of the third period Tuesday, Rempe found space alongside Adam Edstrom on a rush, collected a pass and flipped the puck into the Senators net with his backhand moments later, giving the Rangers a three-goal lead. It marked just the third goal of Rempe’s career and first of the campaign.

When you think of New York Rangers forwards Sam Carrick, Adam Edstrom and Matt Rempe, goal-scoring probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. But the Rangers’ fourth line has scored four goals in the past three games, helping fuel a 2-0-1 stretch.
