New York Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller is possibly facing a three-game suspension after receiving a match penalty for spitting at Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty.
The incident occurred with under five minutes to play in the first period, during the Blueshirts 5-2 win on Sunday night.
It was reported after the game that Miller and Doughty had a good conversation about what happened.
K’Andre Miller apologizes
Since coming to the NHL in 2020-21, Miller has been an honest and hardworking defender that plays a clean game. On the video replay, it clearly appears that Miller spits in the direction of Doughty as he glides backwards to the board.
