Plucks apple in win Miller notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact The helper was Miller's first point in five games since he returned from missing six contests due to an upper-body injury.

Miller has been particularly poor on offense with seven points through 33 outings, way down from the pace that saw him log 30 points in 80 appearances in the 2023-24 regular season. He's added 55 shots on net, 62 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating in 2024-25.

Impact Miller has missed six straight games due to the injury. He has two goals, six points, 55 hits and 40 blocks in 28 outings in 2024-25. Miller will likely serve in a top-four capacity Saturday. Chad Ruhwedel was reassigned to AHL Hartford because Miller is available.

Impact Miller exited Wednesday's game against the Sabres due to an upper-body injury, and he'll be forced to miss some time due to the issue. The Rangers also face the Kings at home Saturday, so it seems as though Miller will also be sidelined for that matchup. Connor Mackey is in line to serve as the team's sixth defenseman in Miller's absence.

Impact Miller had gone 11 games without a point, posting a minus-8 rating, 16 shots on net, 22 hits and 16 blocked shots in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman has played alongside Adam Fox on the top pairing for the last few contests, though Miller fills more of a shutdown role a la Ryan Lindgren when that's the Rangers' defensive arrangement. Miller has three points, 27 shots on net, 32 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances. He's reached the 30-point mark in each of the last two seasons, so it's fair to expect a bit more offense from him moving forward.

Impact Miller was heavily involved on offense early on and had a hand in the team's two goals, scored by Jonny Brodzinski and Adam Fox, but he couldn't escape New York's defensive struggles following the strong start.

The defenseman set up the second of Alexis Lafreniere's goals in Sunday's game.
