In a clash between two teams desperate for a win, the Rangers came up just short. The winless Sharks waltzed into Madison Square Garden on Thursday night and picked up their first victory of the season,

Matt Rempe dropped the gloves with the Sharks’ Ryan Reaves, who once filled his role as the Blueshirts’ enforcer before the 6-foot-9 forward broke into the NHL. In a heavyweight bout at center ice in the first period of the Rangers’ eventual 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks, the two exchanged blows before Rempe retreated to the locker room.
