New York Rangers K'Andre Miller reflects on his performance: "I need to do better"

Thursday after Rangers practice, you could see a plethora of dirty jerseys, and a locker room empty.

The only jersey that was missing from the pile, was K'Andre Miller's who decided to spend extra time on ice.

He wanted to put in extra work after the team's 5-3 loss to the Capitals. He felt he owed it to himself to get better and cope all the while.

Two of his mistakes were prominent which involved a defensive zone pass that wasn't safe, which Alex Ovechkin intercepted and potted for a goal. The next even-strength goal would see Aliaksei Protas outwork Miller on the boards and find a way to beat him to finish the play with a goal.

He decided to focus on the aspects of his play that make him a good player:

His physicality is one thing, but his ability to skate fast and cover lots of ground is an advantage he is working on. This allows him to cover defensive gaps and say if Adam Fox gets beat or has to cover for him.

Miller has had an uncharacteristic start to the 2024-2025 season, scoring only 2 points( 1 G, 1 A) in 9 games this season.

His career year in 2022-2023 was one he wasn't able to eclipse, as he scored 43 points(9 G, 34 A) and if he can put all the pieces of his game together, could we see a similar result this year?

"We've talked about moving things around, but starting with Key and Foxy, they've been a pretty good pair - just their numbers and what they do on the ice," Laviolette said. "(Tuesday) night is more a reflection of not being a good one (for the team), so we need to bounce back and right that. But in a bigger picture, they've been pretty good."
