Per Frank Seravalli, the JT Miller injury is not as serious as once feared. Miller will be out week to week, but is not expected to miss the Olympics in February. Miller did not travel with the Rangers to Nashville for tonight’s game, and it’s expected the Rangers will place him on IR and recall another body when they are able. Miller joins Adam Fox as another key player that is out for weeks for the Rangers.
With Miller out, it’s expected both Brennan Othmann and Gabe Perreault will move up the lineup. Perhaps expected is the wrong word. Hope, perhaps? We are hopeful both kids will move up in the lineup and stick there. Perreault moved up to the top-six in the middle of the Rangers comeback yesterday, while Othmann played just five minutes. We shall see.
