J.T. Miller comes up big in Rangers’ overtime victory over Blues
NY Post
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Just call him O.T. Miller.
The Rangers earned a 2-1 victory over the Blues on Thursday night at Enterprise Center thanks to another clutch performance in overtime from their captain, J.T. Miller. Ripping a shot from between the circles, the 32-year-old recorded his third OT goal, as well as his fourth point in the extra period this season.
“He’s a leader,” goalie Igor Shesterkin told The Post after making 26 saves in the win. “He has a great personality. He played great. He always plays hard. So we just try to follow him, especially in overtime. He’s a huge player for us.”
Miller has carried a lot of the burden from the Rangers’ early struggles. As the 29th captain in franchise history, that’s to be expected.
The fiery forward hasn’t just spoken on the team’s deficiencies. He has accepted as much of the responsibility as he possibly can. Not only to deflect from his teammates but because he genuinely believes it is his to shoulder, having not risen to the individual expectations he has for himself.
With 21 points (10 goals, 11 assists) in 34 games, Miller has definitely not produced as much as the Rangers need him to, especially at five-on-five.
