The official statement for the New York Rangers PR on x:
UPDATE: K'Andre Miller (upper body) will not return tonight.
There has been some speculation as to where and when the 24-year old sustained his injury but it's purely just speculation,
This hit from 6'6 Jordan Greenway on Miller seems to be his upper body injury. It happened midway through the 2nd period and Miller finished that period but didn't come out to start the 3rd period and was "will not return tonight (upper body)" #NYR
K'Andre Miller has appeared in all the New York Rangers games thus far and has managed to put up 2 goals and 4 assist for a total of 6 points throughout 27 games.
