Rangers defender K’Andre Miller will be unavailable for the next few games after being issued a three-game suspension from the NHL for spitting on Kings' veteran Drew Doughty.
Miller, who was ejected from the game after a review from the officials, apologized for his actions, though he claimed he didn’t intend to spit on Doughty in the incident on Sunday, insisting it was accidental.
“I have all the respect in the world for Drew Doughty and what happened was completely accidental,” Miller said via Twitter. "I would never intend to do something like that on purpose, it goes against everything I am as a person and player. I felt awful about it and I am thankful Drew gave me the opportunity to apologize and explain myself in person after the game.”
