New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe was suspended Sunday for eight games for a hit on Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen "that violated multiple NHL rules," according to the NHL Department of Player Safety.
Rempe is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. He was suspended four games last season for elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler in March. Based on his average annual salary, he will forfeit $80,000, which goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
