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.
