Heavyweights Matt Rempe and Ryan Reaves Drop the Gloves for a Throwback Hockey Fight
Ryan Reaves and Matt Rempe renewed their rivalry with a fight early in the game while Sharks led 3-1 after two first-period goals, marking Reaves' second fight this season.
- Yesterday at Madison Square Garden, a center-ice fight between San Jose Sharks winger Ryan Reaves and New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe opened the game, captured on social media.
- Having met before, Reaves and Rempe fought on March 2, 2024, and this was Reaves' second fight this season while Rempe's was his first.
- After sizing each other up, Reaves landed at least two big right hands while Rempe used his reach, exchanging blows over 20 seconds before linesmen Shandor Alphonso and Matt MacPherson intervened.
- Following the scuffle, Rempe left the game with an upper-body injury and did not return for the second period, while Reaves served a five-minute major and remained unscathed.
- Celebrini's second goal at 6:17 gave the Sharks a 2-0 lead, and he added another with 8.1 seconds before intermission, in their best period after a 0-4-2 start.
