It was deemed by the officials that Miller was hurt on the play, which let them call a double minor to review the play, after reviewing the play, Hathaways double minor stood because the officials deemed the high-stick on Miller wasn't a follow through.
The initial call was allowed to stand on the play because they had said that Miller was hurt, but he didn't leave the game and he wasn't cut on the bench.
The Rangers would go on to score on the ensuing 4 minute powerplay and at the end of the 2nd period lead the Flyers by a score of 1-0
