The New York Rangers held on for the win on Tuesday night.
Defenseman K'Andre Miller is hitting his stride as the New York Rangers, who lead the Eastern Conference with 49 points, visit the Florida Panthers on Friday night in Sunrise, Fla.
K'Andre Miller shattered offensive career highs last season, yet some were very upset with his defensive play. The truth is he's just solid all around.
The New York Rangers have one of most solid defensive groups in the NHL, led by captain Jacob Trouba. While the star of the Rangers’ defense may be Adam Fox, who tallied an astounding 72 points last season, every defensive player on the team is able to contribute on the ice one way or another.
The 23-year-old registered nine goals and 34 assists for 43 points in 79 games, averaging 21:57 of ice time during the 2022-23 season. Miller added 37 penalty minutes, 162 hits and 105 blocked shots. He ranked third on the Rangers for hits and fourth in blocked shots.
Both defenseman K’Andre Miller and forward Alexis Lafreniere were sitting without contracts for the 2023-24 NHL season, but the Rangers now have half of that list taken care of.
K'Andre Miller had two goals and two assists to become the first defenseman in franchise history with four points in a single period as the Rangers led 6-0 less than 14 minutes in en route to their win over the Predators.
The NHL announced on Tuesday afternoon that New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has been suspended for three games for spitting on Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty during their game this weekend.
The incident occurred at the 16:37 mark of the first period of the Rangers’ 5–2 win over the Kings. Miller received 15 penalty minutes and was ejected from the game as a consequence of his actions.
After being ejected from the game last night, New York Rangers defenseman K’Andre Miller will have a hearing to determine any supplementary discipline.
