Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Rangers put Miller (upper body) on injured reserve Friday, per Dan Rosen of NHL.com.
Miller left Wednesday's tilt versus the Sabres at the end of the second period and did not return. The Rangers will likely use Connor Mackey as their sixth defenseman in Miller's absence. Miller has two goals, four assists, 55 hits and 40 blocked shots in 28 appearances this season.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Won't travel for start of road trip
Rotowire
Miller (upper body) won't travel with the Rangers for the start of their upcoming road trip, which begins Sunday in St. Louis, Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today reports.
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.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: One of each in defeat
Rotowire
Miller delivered a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-5 loss to Seattle.
Miller snapped a seven-game point drought by recording his first multi-point outing of the campaign Sunday. The left-shot blueliner registered the primary helper on Reilly Smith's tally to open the scoring in the first period, and he added an even-strength goal to cut Seattle's lead to 6-4 in the final frame. The 24-year-old Miller has chipped in two goals and four assists through 26 games. All six of Miller's points have come at even strength, as he receives minimal usage on the power play.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Miller produced an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
After enduring an 11-game point drought, Miller has a helper in each of the last two contests. He helped out on Will Cuylle's game-tying goal at 16:53 of the second period. Miller has been limited to four points over 18 outings, but he's added a respectable 27 shots on net, 33 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He continues to see a top-four role and has frequently played alongside Adam Fox in recent games.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Ends point drought
Rotowire
Miller notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
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.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Miller scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Utah.
Miller has gotten a look on the top pairing while Ryan Lindgren (upper body) is on injured reserve. In addition to his fluky goal on a carom off the boards, Miller has five shots on net, six blocked shots, three hits and a plus-3 rating over two contests. The 24-year-old defenseman is also on the second power-play unit, a spot he could hold for most of the campaign. He disappointed with 30 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, but he had 43 points the year before, showcasing the upside he has on offense.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Sets up two goals Friday
Rotowire
Miller was credited with two assists in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders. He also took two shots and blocked two shots.
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. Miller is penciled as a top-unit defender for the 2024-25 season after notching 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) in 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Posts helper in Game 3 win
Rotowire
Miller logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Miller has made modest contributions on offense with a goal and three assists over 13 playoff outings while maintaining his second-pairing spot. The defenseman set up the second of Alexis Lafreniere's goals in Sunday's game. Miller has added a physical element with 23 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating this postseason, but without much of a power-play role, his offense is unlikely to improve much.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Two helpers against Isles
Rotowire
Miller collected two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
It's the second straight multi-point performance for Miller, with his five points (one goal, four helpers) during that pair of contests, equaling his output from the prior 15 games combined. The 24-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power play time, so his current surge isn't likely to last long, but on the season he's up to eight goals and 29 points through 66 games.

Rotowire
Miller produced a goal and two assists in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Penguins.

Miller hadn't had a multi-point performance since Dec. 27, which was also the last time he'd found the back of the net. His marker Saturday snapped his 33-game goal drought.

Miller registered an assist against the Avs on Monday.
Miller now has helpers in three of his last five contests but hasn't scored since Dec. 27 versus Washington, a stretch of 17 games. During his drought, the Minnesota native recorded a meager 21 shots, which certainly isn't improving his chances of finding the back of the net.

Rotowire
Miller recorded an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.

The 24-year-old blueliner is up to 18 points, 56 shots on net, 59 hits, 60 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 45 outings. He remains firmly in a top-four role, though a lack of power-play time lowers his ceiling in fantasy.
