Matt Rempe's suspension fate confirmed by NHL Player Safety

Today, the NHL's Department of Player Safety (DoPS) reviewed a hit delivered by New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe. Following their assessment, the DoPS determined an appropriate punishment.

Rempe has a history of controversial and suspendable plays in his rookie season in the NHL. In the Rangers latest game, he was penalized for interference after a hit on Trevor Van Riemsdyk.

Following the hit, Rempe declined a challenge to fight from Washington Capitals' forward Tom Wilson, who sought to defend his teammate.

After the NHL Department of Player Safety's assessment, it seems Rempe has managed to avoid significant consequences this time.
