Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Miller produced an assist in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
After enduring an 11-game point drought, Miller has a helper in each of the last two contests. He helped out on Will Cuylle's game-tying goal at 16:53 of the second period. Miller has been limited to four points over 18 outings, but he's added a respectable 27 shots on net, 33 hits, 27 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He continues to see a top-four role and has frequently played alongside Adam Fox in recent games.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Ends point drought
Rotowire
Miller notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Miller had gone 11 games without a point, posting a minus-8 rating, 16 shots on net, 22 hits and 16 blocked shots in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman has played alongside Adam Fox on the top pairing for the last few contests, though Miller fills more of a shutdown role a la Ryan Lindgren when that's the Rangers' defensive arrangement. Miller has three points, 27 shots on net, 32 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances. He's reached the 30-point mark in each of the last two seasons, so it's fair to expect a bit more offense from him moving forward.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Miller scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Utah.
Miller has gotten a look on the top pairing while Ryan Lindgren (upper body) is on injured reserve. In addition to his fluky goal on a carom off the boards, Miller has five shots on net, six blocked shots, three hits and a plus-3 rating over two contests. The 24-year-old defenseman is also on the second power-play unit, a spot he could hold for most of the campaign. He disappointed with 30 points in 80 regular-season outings in 2023-24, but he had 43 points the year before, showcasing the upside he has on offense.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Sets up two goals Friday
Rotowire
Miller was credited with two assists in Friday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Islanders. He also took two shots and blocked two shots.
Miller was heavily involved on offense early on and had a hand in the team's two goals, scored by Jonny Brodzinski and Adam Fox, but he couldn't escape New York's defensive struggles following the strong start. Miller is penciled as a top-unit defender for the 2024-25 season after notching 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) in 80 regular-season contests in 2023-24.
Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Posts helper in Game 3 win
Rotowire
Miller logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Miller has made modest contributions on offense with a goal and three assists over 13 playoff outings while maintaining his second-pairing spot. The defenseman set up the second of Alexis Lafreniere's goals in Sunday's game. Miller has added a physical element with 23 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating this postseason, but without much of a power-play role, his offense is unlikely to improve much.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Generates assist
Rotowire
Miller notched an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.
Miller snapped a nine-game point drought with his helper on Alexis Lafreniere's empty-net tally. The 24-year-old Miller continues to play in a top-four role, but he's had a bit of a down year on offense. He's at 30 points, 93 shots on net, 143 hits, 111 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 76 appearances. Miller produced 43 points in 79 outings a year ago.
Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Two helpers against Isles
Rotowire
Miller collected two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
It's the second straight multi-point performance for Miller, with his five points (one goal, four helpers) during that pair of contests, equaling his output from the prior 15 games combined. The 24-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power play time, so his current surge isn't likely to last long, but on the season he's up to eight goals and 29 points through 66 games.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Three points in big win
Rotowire
Miller produced a goal and two assists in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Penguins.
His tally early in the third period was a back-breaker for Pittsburgh, as it put the Rangers up 6-3. Miller hadn't had a multi-point performance since Dec. 27, which was also the last time he'd found the back of the net. His marker Saturday snapped his 33-game goal drought. On the season, the 24-year-old blueliner has eight goals and 27 points through 65 games.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Assists on empty-netter
Rotowire
Miller had an assist, two shots and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Miller got the secondary helper on Artemi Panarin's empty-netter, which capped the scoring. The helper was Miller's third in his last five games, but he hasn't posted a multi-point game or scored a goal since a two-goal, three-point offensive outburst against the Capitals on Dec. 27. Miller occasionally shows flashes of brilliance offensively, but his lack of a signature performance over the last two months is due in part to lack of opportunities on the power play -- all but one of Miller's 23 points this season have come at even strength, and the other was scored shorthanded.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Snags helper Monday
Rotowire
Miller registered an assist against the Avs on Monday.
Miller now has helpers in three of his last five contests but hasn't scored since Dec. 27 versus Washington, a stretch of 17 games. During his drought, the Minnesota native recorded a meager 21 shots, which certainly isn't improving his chances of finding the back of the net.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Lends assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Miller recorded an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Miller helped out on Artemi Panarin's second-period tally. After enduring an 11-game point drought, Miller is emerging from his slump with a helper in each of the last two contests. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to 18 points, 56 shots on net, 59 hits, 60 blocked shots, 26 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 45 outings. He remains firmly in a top-four role, though a lack of power-play time lowers his ceiling in fantasy.
