If the New York Rangers are to end a three-game losing streak Saturday when they skate against the Utah Mammoth, they must do so without captain J.T. Miller. The 32-year-old center is day to day with an upper-body injury and won’t play in the finale of New York’s three-game road trip.
“Tough guy to replace,” coach Mike Sullivan said after the morning skate. “He’s hard to play against. He makes an impact on the game even when he doesn’t end up on the score sheet.”
Miller scored a pair of power-play goals in a 6-3 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.
