Rangers' Matt Rempe Faces Potential 6-Game Suspension After Hit on Miro Heiskanen

The NHL has offered Rempe an in-person hearing following a boarding and elbowing incident that resulted in a game misconduct.

Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers has been offered an in-person hearing by the NHL's Department of Player Safety, which could lead to a suspension of six or more games.
The hearing stems from a hit during Friday's game against the Dallas Stars, where Rempe boarded and elbowed defenseman Miro Heiskanen, earning a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct.
Heiskanen went through concussion protocol but returned to the game, skating four more shifts, according to Stars coach Peter DeBoer, who described the hit as dangerous.
Rempe, a 22-year-old forward known for his physical style and enforcer role, has a history of disciplinary issues, including a prior four-game suspension for a similar incident last season.
This was Rempe's first NHL game back following a recall from the AHL after the Rangers traded Kaapo Kakko; he had been praised for his development but struggled to stay within the rules during limited ice time.
