Larry Brooks of the New York Post is reporting that New York Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller was the player who broke up the physical altercation between Anthony DeAngelo and Alexandar Georgiev following Saturday nights 5-4 OT loss to the Penguins.
DeAngelo was placed on waivers on Sunday and has until noon Monday to be claimed.
Per Brooks “The Post learned Monday morning, K’Andre Miller broke up the altercation that was precipitated by a remark from DeAngelo to the goaltender just as the team left the ice.”
The altercation appears to be a result of a miscommunication between DeAngelo and Georgiev which led to the OT game-winning goal scored by Penguins Sidney Crosby.
