It was an accident according to K’Andre Miller, but it’s one that may cost him and the New York Rangers up to three games.
In yesterday’s gutsy 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings, Miller was given a match penalty with less than five minutes left to play in the first period for spitting at Drew Doughty. This forced the Rangers to play with just four defensemen for the rest of the game.
“I was just shocked, obviously. I don’t even know if I said anything to him after, but I just immediately went to the ref to try to get the penalty,” Doughty said via ESPN.
