K'Andre Miller suffered an upper-body injury last night as a result of a hit from the Buffalo Sabres Jordan Greenway. He'd leave the ice, and not return after the 2nd period of the game.
K'Andre Miller's status is up in the air, after suffering a brutal hit from the Buffalo Sabres Jordan Greenway. Miller's loss will not help the New York Rangers cause, as he is one of the key pieces on the blue line.
Despite failing to produce up to expectations, he's continued to work on his play this season. Yet in 28 games he's only produced 6 points( 2 G, 4 A) with a -5 rating.
His best season with the Rangers saw him score 43 points( 9 G, 34 A) and play a solid two-way game in 2022-2023.
After last night, Peter Laviolette would not offer any significant details on the injured defenseman. This is unfortunate as we don't have a timetable to return, or any idea of when he'd be evaluated.
Peter Laviolette did not provide any specifics on Miller's injury following the game.
The root of this injury could have been caused by a hit from Jordan Greenway, although it's unclear if that play led to his exit.

Miller is one of many Rangers stars this season who are in a slump, and similar to another original-six team( the Boston Bruins), fans aren't happy.
The team is 15-12-1 and while the Rangers were able to put together a victory, will they have to rely on a call-up from the AHL to fill the gap Miller leaves?
Adam Fox, Reilly Smith, and Mika Zibanejad would all post goals last night in a surprising turn of events, for two players who have been cold all season.
When Miller returns could we see a return to form?
