Miller picked up two assists while adding four shots on net, two blocked shots, two PIM, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Adam Fox early in the second period, as well as Eeli Tolvanen's empty-netter later in the third. Miller has gotten onto the scoresheet in nine of the last 13 games, collecting four goals and 12 points over that stretch as he looks to bounce back from last season's disappointing 53 points (17 goals, 36 assists) over 68 regular-season contests.

Fox produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

The star blueliner opened the scoring early in the second period as the trailer on a Rangers breakout, taking a feed from Tye Kartye and snapping a shot past Joel Hofer from the slot. Fox then helped set up Eeli Tolvanen for an empty-netter late in the third. Fox has three multi-point performances in the last five games, and on the season he's racked up two goals and 19 points in 16 games, a pace that would allow him to top the career-high 74 points (11 goals, 63 assists) he recorded in 2021-22.

Korpisalo (foot) was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Wednesday for a conditioning stint, Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Korpisalo hasn't played yet this season because of the injury, so this is an opportunity for him to shake off the rust before playing for the Rangers. He's been making progress recently, including his participation in Friday's practice. While he didn't stay on for the full session, that was planned, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic. When Korpisalo is ready to return, he'll have an opportunity to compete for the No. 1 spot. Igor Shesterkin (knee) hasn't played since Oct. 9 and won't return this campaign, which has resulted in the Rangers leaning heavily on Dylan Garand. James Reimer is also on the Rangers' roster, but the 38-year-old has stopped just five of eight shots across 20:00 of ice time since signing with New York on Oct. 25, so he hasn't been a major factor. It's possible Reimer will eventually lose his roster spot once Korpisalo is up to speed.

Brown (lower body) was taken off the non-roster and reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.

Brown hasn't played in 2026-27 due to the injury. He had two goals and 14 points in 34 outings with the University of Denver last season. Brown is expected to spend the remainder of the campaign primarily in the minors. It's possible, but far from guaranteed, that he'll get a chance to play with the Jets later in the season.

Garand made 32 saves in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

The 24-year-old netminder very nearly recorded his second shutout of the season, but Pius Suter slipped a rebound past Garand inside the final minute of the third period. Garand has appeared in every game since Igor Shesterkin (knee) was lost for the season, going 4-5-1 with a respectable 2.88 GAA and .896 save percentage, but with Joonas Korpisalo (foot) back at practice and close to his season debut, the young goalie is likely to have his workload eased up soon.

Hofer stopped 28 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. New York's final goal was scored into an empty net.

After a scoreless first period, Adam Fox ripped a shot past Hofer from the high slot early in the second to put the home side in the lead for good. St. Louis didn't even get on the board until late in the third period, after Hofer had been pulled for an extra attacker. The 26-year-old has had a few stumbles this season as the Blues' clear No. 1 netminder, but he's been sharp overall, going 6-4-1 in 11 outings with a 2.39 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Cernak notched an assist, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

Cernak missed the Lightning's previous game due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is prone to getting hurt with how much physicality he brings to the lineup. He has three helpers, 15 shots on net, 26 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 13 appearances this season, mainly in a top-four role.

Moser notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Wings.

The helper was Moser's first point of the season. He's up to 15 shots on net, 11 hits, 23 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances. Moser plays in a top-four role, though the Lightning's tendency to dress seven defensemen this year has limited him to an average of 17:58 of ice time per game.

O'Brien was in the lineup for the third time in four games in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

O'Brien has taken on a bottom-six role in the absence of Kailer Yamamoto (upper body). In three appearances this season, O'Brien has 10 hits, seven PIM, five blocked shots and two shots on net. His playing time is rising for now, but once Utah's forward group is healthy, the 32-year-old is not a lock to stay in the lineup.

Faksa logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Capitals.

Faksa returned to a fourth-line role after a four-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old forward should continue to work in a depth role for the Stars, providing some defense and grit at the bottom of the lineup. He now has two helpers, nine shots on net, 12 hits, nine blocked shots and seven PIM across 11 outings this season.
