The New York Rangers<\/a> and the New Jersey Devils faced off Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, giving Olympic teammates JT Miller and Jack Hughes<\/a> a chance to reunite on the ice, this time back to their usual roles for their respective NHL teams.<\/p>\n

Following the game, Miller was asked whether he had developed a newfound respect<\/a> for Hughes after spending time with the Devils star during the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of respect for him as a player \u2014 he\u2019s obviously an elite talent in the league, but I think I respect him more as a person to be honest with you,\u201d Miller said while speaking to reporters in the locker room, via Jonny Lazarus of the Daily Faceoff.<\/p>\n

There was an undeniably strong bond formed among Team USA players during their memorable gold-medal-winning run in Italy.<\/p>\n

Hughes, of course, has been enjoying the status of a hockey hero<\/a> since scoring the game-winner against Canada in the gold-medal game. He finished that tournament with seven points on four goals and three assists. His brother, Quinn, led all Team USA players with eight points on a goal and seven assists.<\/p>\n

As for Miller, he had zero points with a minus-1 plus\/minus, while attempting just five shots on goal through six appearances. But what matters the most is the gold Team USA won.<\/p>\n

As for Thursday’s game, Miller and the Rangers fell prey to the Devils, 6-3. Miller had an assist for New York, while Hughes recorded a goal and two helpers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils faced off Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, giving…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5111],"tags":[5,1272,6640,3328,35,5190,5193,4,36],"class_list":["post-510982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-rangers","tag-hockey","tag-jack-hughes","tag-jt-miller","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-rangers","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkrangers","tag-nhl","tag-rangers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116254408988488648","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
