Matt Rempe set to receive a massive suspension for boarding Miro Heiskanen
Matt Rempe was ejected last night for a vicious boarding play on Miro Heiskanen and now the NHL Department of Player Safety will certainly suspend him for it.
Last night, he was ejected for this unacceptable hit on Miro Heiskanen.
Aside from the fact that Heiskanen could have been seriously injured in the play, Rempe made no move to avoid head contact and had his elbow collide directly with Heiskanen's head.
Considering how this hit will now be Rempe's second offense, there is a solid chance he will be suspended longer than four games and could be suspended till games in 2025.
For a player, only 22 years old, to be facing his second lengthy suspension for a very similar infraction, the NHL DoPS will look to ensure he cleans up his play but not be lenient on him in the slightest.
Fortunately, on the other hand, Miro Heiskanen did not miss a beat and was able to continue the game following Rempe's ejection.
