New York Rangers rookie forward Matt Rempe was suspended four games by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday after elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler in the head on Monday night.

It's the first suspension of Rempe's 10-game NHL career. Rempe will forfeit $17,083.32, with the money going to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. He can appeal the suspension to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, who would have the final say on that appeal.
