NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers named J.T. Miller captain on Tuesday, putting him in the key leadership position three weeks before the start of the NHL season.
The Rangers announced Miller would be getting the “C” on the eve of the start of training camp and ahead of his first full season back with the team that drafted him. They did not have a captain for much of last season after trading Jacob Trouba to Anaheim in December.
