Rangers, J.T. Miller and Flyers
Digest more
The New York Rangers could get awful injury news if one renowned medical expert is right in his initial assessment.
A good start in the stability quest would be for the New Yorkers to put a couple of wins back to back, especially against a Met Division challenger such as the Philadelphia Flyers. Which is why the Saturday matinee game at The Garden took on extra meaning. The Maven's claim was simple enough;' beat Philly and it could be the start of something big.
J.T. Miller's post-game picture after the Rangers’ win over the Flyers has raised concerns about the captain’s injury status.
Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky played one game at Bridgestone Arena in his storied NHL career – a five-assist effort with the Rangers on Feb. 15, 1999. It remains tied for the most assists and tied for the second-most points in a single game against the Predators.
The New York Rangers have a problem. And it’s not the injury to Adam Fox or poor play, but rather a culture problem. Mika Zibanejad was benched after missing a team meeting, and their head coach Mike Sullivan made the final decision.
The Flyers seemed to have the game in hand, thanks to a four-goal second period, but then the lights went out on Broadway. Heading into the third period with a 4-2 lead, the Flyers allowed the New York Rangers to come back and steal a 5-4 shootout win.
With the win, the Rangers pulled to within one point of both the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders for the two wild card spots in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Rangers’ Mediocrity Comes From Failing to Truly Rebuild
The New York Rangers were a true Stanley Cup contender in the early to mid-2010s. They made it to the Eastern Conference Final twice and made the Stanley Cup Final in 2014, but were never able to win it all.
J.T. Miller scored 2:21 into overtime and the New York Rangers beat the St. Louis Blues 2-1 on Thursday night.
After a relatively mediocre start to the 2025-26 season, the Rangers could be looking to add significant talent ahead of the trade deadline.
