Rangers defenceman K'Andre Miller given match penalty for spitting (video)
An extremely rare penalty was called during Sunday's game between the New York Rangers and Los Angeles Kings.
Late in the first period after a whistle, New York Rangers defenceman K'Andre Miller got into it with Los Angeles Kings defenceman Drew Doughty. As Doughty skated towards Miller, the Rangers blueliner spit on the two-time Stanley Cup champion.
The officials gave K'Andre Miller a match penalty for spitting. Any match penalty handed out during a game is automatically subject to review by the NHL's Department of Player Safety.
