NY Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette addressed Matt Rempe’s most recent suspension. Rempe received an eight-game ban for his hit on the Dallas Stars’ Miro Heiskanen on Dec. 20.

“It’s tough. It’s a big number for a suspension," Laviolette was quoted as saying by Newsday Sports. "I think you constantly learn, especially him in the way he plays the game. We’ll keep working with him as well. He’s an important part of our team, and he brings a lot to the table.”
