Rangers' K'Andre Miller gets 3-game suspension for spitting

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller on Tuesday was suspended three games for unsportsmanlike conduct following an incident in which he spit in the face of Los Angeles Kings defender Drew Doughty, the NHL Player Safety department announced Tuesday.

A scuffle broke out around the 16:37 mark of the first period of Sunday's game after the incident, resulting in a match penalty for Miller.

In addition, Miller will forfeit $15,000 in salary, which goes to the players' emergency assistance fund.

This is the first supplemental discipline for Miller, 23, who was the Rangers' first-round draft choice (22nd overall) in the 2018 NHL entry draft.
