The NHL department stated that "Rempe sees nothing but Heiskanen's back" as he approaches, indicating he had a responsibility to change his approach.
"Rempe explodes upwards into a hard check into a defenseless Heiskanen while at the same time extending his elbow and forearm up and into the back of Heiskanen's neck," which contributed to the dangerous nature of the hit.
