K'Andre Miller - Expected to play SaturdayMiller (personal) will draw back into the lineup Saturday against Boston, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

ImpactMiller missed the Rangers' previous two contests. He has five goals, 12 points, 14 PIM, 24 hits and 34 blocks in 26 outings in 2023-24. Miller's return will likely result in Zac Jones serving as a healthy scratch.

Connor Mackey - Promoted SaturdayMackey was called up by the Rangers on Saturday.

ImpactMackey has a goal, five points and 35 PIM in 15 contests with AHL Hartford. He hasn't played for New York yet, but he does have four goals, 11 points in 39 career NHL games. With K'Andre Miller (personal) potentially not an option for Saturday's game in Boston, Mackey is likely up to serve as an insurance policy in case another defenseman ends up being unavailable.

Ilya Lyubushkin - Registers helper in lossLyubushkin posted an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.

ImpactLyubushkin's point drought lasted more than a month -- he went 14 games off the scoresheet, adding a minus-12 rating, 30 hits and 36 blocked shots in that span. The 29-year-old's presence in the lineup is purely a defensive one, so it's not unusual that he's struggled to score much in his first year with the Ducks. He's at three assists, 73 blocks, 54 hits, 24 PIM, 22 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 29 appearances.
