New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe has been suspended for eight games due to boarding and elbowing Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen during a recent match. The suspension follows an in-person hearing, allowing the NHL's Department of Player Safety to impose a longer penalty.

This decision comes after the Rangers suffered their fourth consecutive loss, highlighting the team's struggles this season. Rempe, known for his physical play, has faced disciplinary issues before, including a previous suspension.
