J.T. Miller’s status has become one of the biggest talking points surrounding the New York Rangers in recent days. The veteran has been sidelined since early March after suffering an upper body injury that forced the team to place him on injured reserve.
Despite the absence of Miller, the Rangers have managed to put together several solid performances following the Olympic break. Mike Sullivan’s team has shown improvement giving fans some optimism about the direction of the roster as the regular season enters the final stretch.
At the same time, the reality of the standings still presents a major challenge as the NY Rangers remain significantly behind in the Eastern Conference playoff race and won’t fight for the Stanley Cup. That’s why speculation continues to grow around the roster, with trade rumors linking players like Vincent Trocheck and Adam Fox to potential moves in the offseason.
Is J.T. Miller playing tonight for Rangers vs Jets?
No. J.T. Miller will not play in today’s game between the New York Rangers and the Winnipeg Jets as he continues to recover from the upper body injury that led to his placement on injured reserve earlier this month.
Head coach Mike Sullivan addressed the situation while speaking to reporters, explaining that the team is still monitoring Miller’s progress before making any final decisions about his return to the lineup.
When asked about a possible comeback against the Wild on Saturday, Sullivan made it clear the Rangers are taking a cautious approach. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”
