J.T. Miller’s return to Vancouver with the New York Rangers ended with a tribute from his old team and a victory for his new one.
Miller, who was acquired by the Rangers from the Canucks on Jan. 31 and named the 29th captain in franchise history during training camp, didn’t hit the score sheet in his first game back at Rogers Arena on Tuesday. He finished with two shots on goal and was credited with one hit. But his 11 wins on 15 face-offs helped the Rangers put a lid on the Canucks’ offense, and Jonathan Quick did the rest by stopping all 23 shots he faced in a 2-0 victory that ended New York’s three-game slide.
