Notable tough player for the New York Rangers Matt Rempe is likely to be a healthy scratch for game two of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

While the New York Rangers look to take a 2-0 series lead against the Carolina Hurricanes, they will have to do that without Rempe.

Rempe played in just seven minutes in game one and found himself in the penalty box a few times.

In his five playoff appearances against the Washington Capitals and one against the Carolina Hurricanes, Rempe has struggled to find that rhythm that he had in the regular season.

With the Rangers choosing to healthy scratch Rempe, they are likely looking for more fourth line skill. Rempe's one dimensional physical presence is easy to counter, but the Carolina Hurricanes don't have a player similar to Rempe.

In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, taking on a role of some sort is necessary, but Rempe is expecting his schtick to work. He is quickly finding out that he will have a quick shelf life if he doesn't add another element of uniqueness to his game.

Rempe, while loved by fans, is likely sitting in the press box watching his team play while he figures out what he will add to his game to return to the Rangers lineup.
