New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller collected two goals and an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Miller was in desperate need of a good game, as he didn't have a point in six straight games prior to this one. The Rangers have been one of the best teams in the league, and if Miller can get going like last year, when he had 43 points in 79 games, they could get even better. He hasn't been quite that yet, with just 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in 31 games, but the potential is there. He is a decent fantasy defenseman who can put up some points and peripherals, but isn't a must-own player in standard leagues.
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller (personal) will hop back into the lineup Saturday against Boston. The talented blue-liner has skipped a pair of games this week while tending to a personal matter. Miller has scored four of his five goals this season in his past eight appearances and boasts 12 points overall in 26 games. He's also totaled 24 hits and 34 blocks while logging a plus-five rating. Zac Jones will likely step out of the lineup to accommodate Miller.
K'Andre Miller Agrees On Two-Year Extension With Rangers
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has received a two-year extension worth a bit over $7.7 million. He will have a very affordable $3.872 million cap hit for the next two seasons after coming off an entry-level contract. The Rangers will be delighted by getting Miller to sign a bridge deal, with the team in a tight cap situation and also needing to get Alexis Lafreniere on a new contract. Miller's last season's numbers definitely warranted a bigger deal, as the 23-year-old put up 43 points in 79 games with 105 blocks and 162 hits.
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller had a historic outing Sunday against Nashville, becoming the first blue-liner in franchise history to tally four points in a single period.

It was a huge game for him all around, as Miller finished with six shots on goal, one block, two hits and a plus-five rating. The 23-year-old has made major strides this season, contributing eight goals and 30 assists in 67 games with 98 shots, 144 hits and 84 blocks.
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has received a three-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct. Miller was caught spitting at Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty in Sunday's game. The 23-year-old was tossed from the contest and now won't be able to feature for the Rangers until March 9. Miller has enjoyed a very strong campaign in New York, with 30 points, 86 shots, 130 hits and 74 blocks amassed over 60 games. With Ryan Lindgren (upper body) battling an injury, the Rangers blue line could be very thin for Wednesday's clash with Philadelphia.
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller recorded his first career three-point game Wednesday against the Canucks, finishing a 4-3 victory with a hat trick of assists. Chris Kreider, Filip Chytil and Alexis Lafreniere all owe him one. Miller also had four hits in the game and was plus-three in 23:10 of ice time. It was a spectacular way to end a scoring drought, as Miller had gone five straight games without a single point. The 23-year-old is enjoying a very productive season on the Rangers' second defensive pairing, sitting on 28 points, 135 shots, 113 hits and 61 blocks with 51 games played.
K'Andre Miller Stretches Point Streak To Six Games
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller took his point streak to a career-high six games on Sunday, logging an assist on the team's lone goal in a 2-1 defeat to Montreal. Neal Pionk and Brian Leetch are the only Rangers blue-liners in the past 25 years to have a longer point streak before age 23. Miller has taken big strides in his development this season and has already set a new scoring record with 24 points in 44 games. He has also been a major factor on the defensive side of things, recording 91 hits and 52 blocks.
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller produced his first career goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres. Brendan Lemieux and Colin Blackwell set him up for the special occasion in the final minute of the opening frame. Chris Kreider also scored for the Rangers, who suffered a fourth consecutive loss. Miller is an intriguing prospect, as he used to be a forward and thus has big upside offensively as a blueliner. It was an all-around good night by Miller on Tuesday, with him adding three shots and one block in 17:41 on the ice. He also had two penalty minutes and finished with a team-best plus-two rating.
New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has made the team's Opening Night roster. The 22nd overall pick from 2018 will play alongside Jacob Trouba on the team's top pair. Miller really impressed throughout training camp and will now get his first crack at the NHL. It is unlikely that he will hold much value in standard leagues this year, as power-play time may be tough to come by. Nevertheless, Miller needs to be owned in any dynasty formats because of his sky-high upside.
