J.T. Miller started the 16-17 season with some pressure on his shoulders for the New York Rangers.
After a breakout campaign the year prior, expectations were very high for the 23-year-old turned 24-year-old. And for the second straight year, Miller proved that he could be a fixture in the Rangers’ lineup for years to come.
Miller matched his 22 goals from the year prior while adding 13 more assists. He also finished with a higher plus/minus (+17). Miller made an impact on the game even when he wasn’t putting points on the board this year too. He always finished his checks, made key blocks and turned into a guy that Alain Vigneault trusted in all three zones–most of the time.
