Rempe of Rangers offered in-person hearing with NHL Player Safety

Matt Rempe will have an in-person hearing via zoom with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday.

The New York Rangers forward is facing discipline for boarding/elbowing against Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen.

The incident occurred at 7:10 of the third period in New York’s 3-1 win at American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday. Rempe received a major penalty and game misconduct.

If the infraction might require a suspension of six games or more, the offending player is offered the opportunity to an in-person hearing. In this case, the player remains suspended until the hearing takes place. If the player waives his right to an in-person hearing, the hearing will be conducted by phone.

The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: boarding/elbowing. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
