The Rangers are bringing in an old friend.
The Rangers may have lost two straight games to put their playoff hopes in jeopardy, but they still are going for the postseason. Miller began his career with the Rangers more than a decade ago. Vancouver Canucks center J.T. Miller is congratulated by teammates after scoring against the St. Louis Blues during the second period at Enterprise Center.Miller is expected to join the team in time for their game against the Bruins on Saturday in Boston.
After a mostly promising few weeks, which included a 10-game point streak, got them to within one point of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, they head to February once again on shaky ground after two straight defeats.They’ve fallen to five points out of the last wild-card spot with five teams to pass, and they simply can’t find the rhythm they had last season.
“It’s not just him,” Laviolette said after the team’s optional practice Friday in advance of Saturday’s key matchup in Boston. “We’re working to create to be successful on a daily basis, whereas last year, not that it was easy, but there were less obstacles and less roadblocks. So we’re working through that.”
At some point, perhaps looking up in the standings will take a toll on a team, as Laviolette said they were “still trying to work our way out” of those poor few weeks.
