According to rule 53.2:
A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player on the ice who throws his stick or any part thereof or any other object in the direction of the puck or an opponent in any zone, except when such act has been penalized by the assessment of a penalty shot or the awarding of a goal.
In throwing his glove at the Capitals bench, Zach Aston-Reese should have received a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
It is yet another clear indicator of the NHL's pro-Pittsburgh bias that the penalty was not assessed.
