Matt Puempel didn’t play in Game 6 for the New York Rangers but he may have saved one of his best moves for something special he did off the ice.

According to a report in Wednesday’s New York Post, Puempel — who started his career with the Senators before being picked up on waivers by the Rangers last November — gave two homeless people who sleep near on the streets near the Garden tickets to what turned out to be the club’s final game of the season against Ottawa.

“We were just sitting here, brother came out there past me and asked me, ‘Do you want tickets to go the Ranger game?’,” the man identified as Danny told the Post.

“I said, ‘Hell, f---ing yeah.”

He was accompanied to the game by his girlfriend Charmayne and Puempel returned Tuesday afternoon before the game to give them the tickets.

“He didn’t lie,” Charmayne said in an interview with the Post. “He was awesome. He said, ‘Go have fun, enjoy yourself and I will see you after the game’. I felt so good about it. We have been out here for three years, homeless right in this spot.”

The 24-year-old Puempel, a Windsor native, was selected by the Senators No. 24 overall in the 2011 NHL entry draft.
