For the first time in his six-year NHL career, former New York Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller stepped on the Madison Square Garden ice as a visiting player Tuesday.
The 25-year-old isn’t expected to suit up when the Carolina Hurricanes face-off with the Rangers in a Metropolitan Division clash, though. Miller is still nursing a lower-body injury sustained Oct. 20, but he joined Carolina’s morning skate in a regular practice jersey.
This is his first return to The Garden since the Rangers traded Miller to the Hurricanes on July 1. He has four points (two goals, two assists) in six games, but missed Carolina’s past five contests and remains on IR.
