The last time the New Jersey Devils saw their rivals, it was the first meeting with the New York Rangers in a new era. Jacob Trouba, their former captain, was traded to the Anaheim Ducks and no longer manned the Blueshirts blueline.

The Devils face the Rangers for the third time this season on Thursday night, and Matt Rempe could return to the lineup.

Returning to practice on Wednesday afternoon following an eight-game suspension, Rangers enforcer Matt Rempe admitted that he must play smarter moving forward.

Matt Rempe has been in this situation before. Just over 10 months ago, back in March, the 6-foot-8 ½ forward served a suspension, acknowledged he made a mistake with a hit — a high elbow flung toward the Devils’ Jonas Siegenthaler — and stressed the need to grow from it.
