The two of them had a history from their last game at the Garden on Mar. 11. That night, Rempe refused MacDermid’s offer to fight early in the game. Later in the game, Rempe knocked Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler out of the game with a high elbow and then was suspended for four games.

Rempe and MacDermid fought the longest last night after the four other fights that broke out ended. MacDermid proceeded to say this after the game:

“It was great to see the team responding that way and having each other's backs out there,'' said MacDermid, who hadn't played the past four games for New Jersey but was on the ice for the opening faceoff. “l have a lot of respect for him (Rempe). He's a young kid trying to do his thing. I understand that."
