Miller scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Predators.
Miller jumped up on the play and scored on a feed from J.T. Miller while surging to the net. The goal was the 25-year-old Miller's first since Feb. 2, and he has four points over his last 10 outings. For the season, the defenseman is up to five goals, 15 points, 84 shots on net, 80 hits, 77 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 54 appearances. While he's had a disappointing campaign, he's in position for a strong finish -- Miller is now in a top-pairing role following the trade of Ryan Lindgren to the Avalanche and Adam Fox's (upper body) ongoing injury absence.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: On track to play
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Miller took warmups in a top-four role, so it looks like he'll be able to play after being questionable following the lower-body injury he sustained Tuesday versus the Islanders. The 25-year-old defenseman could see more power-play time since Adam Fox (upper body) is on injured reserve. Miller has 14 points over 52 contests this season, including three points over eight outings in February.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Considered game-time decision
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Maple Leafs, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Miller suffered a lower-body injury in the second period of Tuesday's win over the Islanders, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Friday. Across eight appearances in February, he's logged a goal, two assists, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 21:21 of ice time. Miller was on the ice for Friday's optional morning skate, but if he's held out against Toronto, Matthew Robertson will likely enter the lineup.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Contributes helper in win
Rotowire

Miller has two goals and four assists over his last eight outings. The 25-year-old defenseman set up Vincent Trocheck's game-tying goal in the third period. Miller has taken a step back on offense for the second year in a row -- he's at just 13 points through 47 outings, though it appears he's turning things around with his recent play. He's added 72 shots on net, 72 hits, 68 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while seeing top-four minutes.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Game-winning goal Sunday
Rotowire
Miller netted the game-winning goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Miller's go-ahead tally came on a slap shot with just under nine minutes to go in the contest. His goal gave the Rangers their first lead of the game. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to four goals, eight assists, 72 shots on net, 70 hits and 64 blocks across 46 appearances this season. Despite a slow start to the season offensively, Miller has five points across his last seven games. With his recent flow of offensive production, the blueliner has received more power-play opportunities. Miller provides good category coverage, and his momentum makes him a strong option on the waiver wire in deeper leagues.
Miller had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 6-1 win over the Flyers.
Miller, who is more of a shutdown guy, is on a surprising three-game, four-point scoring streak (one goal, three assists). He's on pace for triple digits in both hits and blocks, so adding a bit of offense certainly gives him a short-term boost. Miller has three goals and eight assists in 42 games.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Puts up helper Sunday
Rotowire
Miller notched an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
This was just his second helper over 12 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury. Miller has remained in a top-four role despite the lack of offense due to his strong defense -- his minus-2 rating Sunday was the first time he's gone negative since Dec. 30. He's produced eight points, 63 shots on net, 66 hits, 57 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 40 appearances this season.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Plucks apple in win
Rotowire
Miller notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
The helper was Miller's first point in five games since he returned from missing six contests due to an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old defenseman has played on the second pairing and second power-play unit, but the Rangers' overall struggles have made it tough for any of their players to find much consistency on offense lately. Miller has been particularly poor on offense with seven points through 33 outings, way down from the pace that saw him log 30 points in 80 appearances in the 2023-24 regular season. He's added 55 shots on net, 62 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating in 2024-25.

According to Dan Rosen of NHL.com, Miller (upper body) is day-to-day ahead of the Rangers' back-to-back against Carolina and New Jersey on Sunday and Monday, respectively.

Miller has two goals, four assists, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 55 hits across 28 appearances this season.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Miller produced an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
After enduring an 11-game point drought, Miller has a helper in each of the last two contests. He helped out on Will Cuylle's game-tying goal at 16:53 of the second period. Miller has been limited to four points over 18 outings, but he's added a respectable 27 shots on net, 33 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He continues to see a top-four role and has frequently played alongside Adam Fox in recent games.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Ends point drought
Rotowire
Miller notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Miller had gone 11 games without a point, posting a minus-8 rating, 16 shots on net, 22 hits and 16 blocked shots in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman has played alongside Adam Fox on the top pairing for the last few contests, though Miller fills more of a shutdown role a la Ryan Lindgren when that's the Rangers' defensive arrangement. Miller has three points, 27 shots on net, 32 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances. He's reached the 30-point mark in each of the last two seasons, so it's fair to expect a bit more offense from him moving forward.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Miller scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Utah.
Miller has gotten a look on the top pairing while Ryan Lindgren (upper body) is on injured reserve. In addition to his fluky goal on a carom off the boards, Miller has five shots on net, six blocked shots, three hits and a plus-3 rating over two contests. The 24-year-old defenseman is also on the second power-play unit, a spot he could hold for most of the campaign. He disappointed with 30 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, but he had 43 points the year before, showcasing the upside he has on offense.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Sets up two goals Friday
Rotowire
Miller was credited with two assists in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders. He also took two shots and blocked two shots.
Miller was heavily involved on offense early on and had a hand in the team's two goals, scored by Jonny Brodzinski and Adam Fox, but he couldn't escape New York's defensive struggles following the strong start. Miller is penciled as a top-unit defender for the 2024-25 season after notching 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) in 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Posts helper in Game 3 win
Rotowire
Miller logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Miller has made modest contributions on offense with a goal and three assists over 13 playoff outings while maintaining his second-pairing spot. The defenseman set up the second of Alexis Lafreniere's goals in Sunday's game. Miller has added a physical element with 23 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating this postseason, but without much of a power-play role, his offense is unlikely to improve much.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Two helpers against Isles
Rotowire
Miller collected two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
It's the second straight multi-point performance for Miller, with his five points (one goal, four helpers) during that pair of contests, equaling his output from the prior 15 games combined. The 24-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power play time, so his current surge isn't likely to last long, but on the season he's up to eight goals and 29 points through 66 games.
