Rempe explodes upwards into a hard check to the back of a defenseless Heiskanen while at the same time extending his elbow and forearm up and into the back of Heiskanen's neck, driving Heiskanen dangerously into the boards and glass.
It is important to note that for an extended period of time and during the entire lead-up to this hit, Rempe sees nothing but Heiskanen's back. Rempe is in complete control of how this play develops.
The narrator also notes that Rempe's previous suspension for elbowing Jonas Siegenthaler last March contributed to the length of his suspension. The 22-year-old forward has also already been ejected four times.
Rempe's suspension is the longest of the NHL's 2024-25 regular season, surpassing Ryan Reaves's five-game suspension for an illegal check.
