Matt Rempe faces potential third NHL suspension for elbowing Predators' Blankenburg
In a recent game between the New York Rangers and the Nashville Predators, Rangers forward Matt Rempe delivered a controversial elbow to the head of Predators defenseman Nick Blankenburg, resulting in a two-minute minor penalty for elbowing. The hit, which occurred early in the first period, led to a fight between Rempe and Predators defenseman Andreas Englund, who sought retribution for his teammate. Despite the dangerous nature of the hit, Blankenburg returned to the game, although both teams are concerned the NHL may review the incident for further disciplinary action. Rempe has a history of suspensions for similar infractions, having been banned multiple times during his brief NHL career. Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette defended Rempe's play, suggesting the hit was more of a 'grazing' than a direct hit, while others believe it warrants a closer look from the league. The incident raises ongoing concerns about player safety and the enforcement of rules against head contact in the NHL.
