Report: No suspension for Canucks' Miller following 2 misconducts

Bob Stanton / USA TODAY Sports

Vancouver Canucks goalie Ryan Miller won't face supplementary discipline following a pair of misconducts in Saturday's affair against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Postmedia's Ben Kuzma reports.

Miller was ejected at the 14:52 mark of the third period after leaving his crease to fight Maple Leafs forward Matt Martin. Miller was whistled as the third man in, because Canucks defenseman Troy Stetcher was already engaged in the scrum.

The Canucks netminder was assessed a penalty for leaving his crease, as well as a pair of misconducts, totaling 22 minutes in penalties.

According to Kuzma, the NHL has rescinded one of the misconducts. Had both remained in place, Rule 403b states that two misconducts in one game is grounds for a two-game suspension, at minimum.

Backup Jacob Markstrom filled in for the game's remaining 5:08, but did not face any shots. The Maple Leafs won 6-3, while the Canucks won't have to wait long to respond, as the two teams meet up in Vancouver on Dec. 3.
