J.T. Miller being evaluated for upper-body injury after big hit in latest Rangers worry

The Rangers have another injury worry on their hands.

In their 5-4 shootout win over the Flyers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon, J.T. Miller exited early during the third period and is currently being evaluated for an upper-body injury, Mike Sullivan said.

The coach hadn’t heard the results yet following the win.

When chasing down a puck, Miller endured a big hit from Flyers’ Nick Seeler that sent the Rangers captain flying back onto the ice and running into Owen Tippett in the process.

The 32-year-old center was slow to get up and sat hunched over on the Rangers bench before heading into the tunnel toward the locker room with under nine minutes left in regulation.

“I don’t want to say anything too early because we don’t know what’s happening. I’m just sad he left the game but I hope he’ll be alright,” Artemi Panarin said.
