Story summary

J.T. Miller, captain of the New York Rangers, highlighted improvements in the team's defensive commitment and physical play during the 2026-27 hockey season. He noted that despite these positive changes, the Rangers are still struggling to consistently secure victories early on in their 84-game campaign. The second line, which includes Miller along with Tye Kartye and Pavel Dorofeyev, has had periods of strong performance but has not yet been enough to demand consistent results from opponents. Miller, who faced injury issues the previous season, expressed satisfaction with his own game so far this year.
