New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller was suspended for three games on Tuesday after spitting on Drew Doughty in Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Kings.

Miller issued an apology Monday on Twitter, insisting the incident was accidental.

The NHL Department of Player Safety has punished players for spitting on an opponent before. Garnet Hathaway, then a member of the Washington Capitals, was banned for three games in 2019.
