J.T. Miller notches assist in return to Rangers lineup following injury
NY Post
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Rangers got their captain back Wednesday night against the Hurricanes.
J.T. Miller returned to the Blueshirts lineup after missing the previous two games with an upper-body injury.
Slotting on to the right wing of Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck, Miller rounded out the top six with Will Cuylle, Mika Zibanejad and Alexis Lafrenière serving as the top unit.
“Pretty good,” Miller said of how he felt in his first game back, after notching an assist on Artemi Panarin’s go-ahead goal in the second period of the Rangers’ 4-2 win over the Hurricanes. “Definitely tried to keep myself out of certain situations, but I think, for the most part, I felt pretty good. Felt like I could contribute without being taken too much away from my game.”
As a result, Conor Sheary was bumped from the lineup and served as a healthy scratch for the first time this season.
With just five assists through 24 games, Sheary is still looking for his first goal of the season.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
