Rangers forward Matt Rempe receives eight-game suspension for elbowing Stars' Miro Heiskanen

New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe has been suspended for eight games for elbowing Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen. The suspension follows an in-person hearing, allowing for a longer penalty than usual. Rempe's suspension comes after a recent game where he was recalled from the AHL. He has not scored in five games this season and has a history of penalties, including a previous four-game suspension. The Rangers are struggling, having lost 12 of their last 16 games, including four straight at home. Rempe's suspension adds to the team's challenges as they seek to improve their performance.
