The New York Rangers have just provided a very crucial update on their captain's status for their upcoming game against the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.
Just a moment ago, insider Vince Z. Mercogliano reported a massive update on J.T. Miller's status for the New York Rangers upcoming game against the St. Louis Blues, and it's safe to say that it's not good news.
According to Vince, who was reporting from the Rangers' morning practice, captain J.T. Miller will, in fact, be sidelined from the New York Rangers game tonight, as he was not at the team's morning practice, as he's still day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
"Looks like no J.T. Miller again tonight. He's still out for the morning skate and considered day-to-day."
An injury that was sustained from the Rangers game against the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night, as Miller collided hard with Avalanche forward Artturi Lehkonen, and was visibly shaken up.
coach Mike Sullivan says J.T. Miller's injury occurred during the Colorado game.
"We'll take it as it comes right now," he said of if it'll be longer than a one-game absence. "He's day to day. Tough guy to replace."

With that being said, Miller went on to miss the Rangers game on Saturday night against the Utah Mammoth, where the Rangers took a 3-2 loss, and now, according to Mike Sullivan, Miller will miss another game.

Following the Rangers' practice on Monday morning, head coach Mike Sullivan met with the media and confirmed that J.T. Miller will in fact be sidelined for tonights game at the Blues.
"Trocheck is a game time decision, Sullivan said. Miller is out."
Along with stating that Trocheck will be a game-time decision after stating that the veteran forward was missing from practice due to precautionary reasons this morning.
So I think it's safe to say that the New York Rangers will see a drastic change in the offensive lines for tonight's game.
