Miller scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over Buffalo.
Miller's goal came on a beauty tip of Braden Schneider's point shot for a 3-0 lead at 17:11 of the final frame. The intense pivot scored at a 90-point pace (13 goals and 22 assists in 32 games) after returning to the Rangers last season. Miller's skill set and edgy temperament will help carry the Rangers this season, although he may not be strong enough to lift them into the postseason.
Miller (lower body) practiced in a regular jersey Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Miller seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of Tuesday's Opening Night matchup with the Penguins. If the 32-year-old center is cleared in time to face Pittsburgh, he figures to slot into a first-line center role as well as logging time with the No. 1 power-play unit. Last season, Miller missed the 30-goal threshold for the first time since 2020-21 but should be capable of returning to that level in 2025-26.

Rotowire
Miller (lower body) will be in the lineup against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.
Miller missed some time during training camp after suffering an injury at practice, but he was a full participant in Monday's session and will be ready for the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign.

Rangers' J.T. Miller: Working in non-contact sweater
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) was practicing in a non-contact jersey Friday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.
Considering Miller still hasn't been cleared for full contact, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to suit up in the preseason finale versus Boston on Saturday. Instead, the Rangers' captain will be hoping to be cleared in time for Opening Night against the Penguins on Tuesday. Once given the all-clear, Miller figures to retake his first-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Rangers' J.T. Miller: Out against Devils
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Thursday's preseason matchup with New Jersey, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.
According to head coach Mike Sullivan, Miller is "trending the right way and I believe we'll get him back in a timely manner." Sullivan's comments certainly would seem to indicate that the team is expecting to have Miller in action for Opening Night against the Penguins on Oct. 7, though that hasn't been officially confirmed. If Miller does miss out, Mika Zibanejad looks poised to shift to center while Alexis Lafreniere moves up to the top line.

Rangers' J.T. Miller: Labeled day-to-day
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) was deemed day-to-day Tuesday, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.
Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reported Monday that it appears Miller avoided a serious lower-body injury after being hurt during that morning's practice. However, it's unclear if the veteran center will be held out for the remainder of the preseason. The Rangers will likely be extremely cautious with their new captain ahead of their regular-season opener against the Penguins on Oct. 7, but more information on Miller's status should be available in the near future.

Rangers' J.T. Miller: Being evaluated
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) is being evaluated after leaving Monday's practice early, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
According to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic, Miller made it off the ice under his own power, but appeared to be favoring his leg after lunging for the puck during a drill. The team will probably be cautious with the 32-year-old forward, so it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't play again during the preseason. Miller amassed 22 goals and 70 points in 72 regular-season outings between the Rangers and Canucks in 2024-25.
Miller scored an even-strength goal and added a shorthanded assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.
After tying the game at 3-3 late in the second period, Miller set up Vincent Trocheck for the game-winner early in the third. Miller is going down swinging on a disappointing season for the Blueshirts, finding the scoresheet in 10 of the last 11 games -- including three straight multi-point performances -- while racking up six goals and 16 points.
