[Reggie Dunlop]

On November 18, 2019, Hathaway was given a match penalty and was ejected from a game against the Anaheim Ducks when he intentionally spat on skater Erik Gudbranson during a fight.[28] Following the game ejection, the NHL suspended Hathaway for three games without pay, and announced that he would forfeit $24,193 to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund as part of his punishment.[29] The Ducks' reaction to the spitting incident was vitriolic, with Gudbranson saying, "It's something you just don't do in our game, and he did it". Teammate Derek Grant added, "At the end of the day, it's probably the least respectful thing you can ever do to somebody."[30]
