Rangers K'Andre Miller Speaks Ahead Of NHL Hearing

"I was just shocked, obviously," Doughty told the media. "I don't even know if I said anything to him after, but I just immediately went to the ref to try to get the penalty."

"You don't want to see things like that in this game. I don't know if I've ever seen that. I'm sure it has happened, but not that I've seen. It's unfortunate and whether or not he meant to do it, I have no idea. It's a pretty big loogie on my face, so I was pretty pissed."

"I would never intend to do something like that on purpose," Miller wrote. "It goes against everything I am as a person and player. I felt awful about it."

"I wanted to take a moment to address what occurred in last night's game. I have all the respect in the world for Drew Doughty and what happened was completely accidental. 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'm thankful Drew gave me the opportunity to apologize and explain myself in person after the game."
