When they line up for Game 5 tonight, the Rangers will have Matt Rempe back in the lineup.

A healthy scratch over the last two games, he’ll return to the fourth line. With coach Peter Laviolette opting for Filip Chytil in Game 3 and then Jonny Brodzinski in Game 4, Rempe sat out.

It wasn’t certain that Rempe would play for the Rangers again. In Game 2, Laviolette didn’t play Rempe over the last two periods. That included an overtime that was the longest of this year’s playoffs. Vincent Trocheck won it early in double overtime.

Chytil returned for the first time in Game 3. The Rangers won in overtime on an Artemi Panarin goal. With the center having an illness, he was replaced by Jonny Brodzinski for Game 4. The Rangers lost to the Hurricanes 4-3.

Rempe can be played differently by Laviolette at home. A point he made following Game 3 at Carolina. That means he can dictate the matchups due to having the last change.

The Rangers will look to wrap up the series for a second straight time.
