Matt Rempe gets an elbowing major and a game misconduct for this hit on Miro Heiskanen.
Matt Rempe has just returned to the New York Rangers lineup tonight for the first time since November 25th as Chris Drury was looking to shake things up for the Rangers roster.
Unfortunately for Matt Rempe this type of hit is more than likely to be reviewed by the NHL Department of Player Safety, as it was a high hit to the back of the head.
However, Rempe's fate won't be known until tomorrow, whether the NHL player Safety deems this hit to be suspendible or just a fine.
But with his recorded and being suspended for 4 games last season for elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman
Jonas Siegenthaler in the head, it's like going to be another suspension.
