Matt Rempe and Rangers' fourth line comes up big in Game 1

Matt Rempe and the New York Rangers' fourth line made their presence felt in the opener of their first-round series against the Washington Capitals on Sunday. Jimmy Vesey had a goal and an assist, home-crowd favorite Rempe also scored, and Barclay Goodrow had two assists in the Rangers' 4-1 win. The physical line got into it early as Rempe was whistled for charging to give the Capitals a power play 2:07 into the game.
