Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers is facing an in-person hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety due to his boarding and elbowing of Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen. This hearing could result in a suspension of six games or more.

Rempe, a six-foot-eight forward, has a history of penalties, including a previous four-game suspension for an elbowing incident. His recent actions are under scrutiny as the league assesses the severity and intent behind the hit.
