Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers has been suspended for eight games following a hit on Miro Heiskanen of the Dallas Stars. This decision comes after an in-person hearing with NHL Player Safety.

The 22-year-old forward has faced disciplinary action twice in his brief career, both times for elbowing. In his latest incident, Rempe received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. He has yet to score in five games with the Rangers this season.
