A month after his original shoulder injury, J.T. Miller is back in the lineup, but his "be careful" comments and tentative play suggest a captain who isn't quite ready to be the power forward the Rangers desperately need.
The New York Rangers were without Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin for Thursday's 5-2 loss against the Buffalo Sabres, but J.T. Miller returned to lineup after being sidelined for the last seven games. While Miller was dressed, and in the lineup, the general sentiment watching him was that he looked like a player competing at half speed.
