Miller (illness) is expected to play in Friday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was considered a game-time call after missing practice Thursday, but he participated in Friday's morning skate. He should occupy a top-six role and is expected to center a line with Will Cuylle and Mika Zibanejad since Chris Kreider (upper body) is out of the lineup for a third straight game. Miller has earned nine points over eight games since the Rangers traded for him in a deal with the Canucks.

Miller (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Maple Leafs, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller didn't practice Thursday due to an illness and is apparently still dealing with the issue Friday, as the Rangers want to see how he feels leading up to puck drop before determining his status. The 31-year-old has been productive over three appearances since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, totaling three goals, two assists, 13 hits and a blocked shot while averaging 16:49 of ice time. He was on the ice for the Rangers' optional morning skate Friday, which is an encouraging sign, but Brennan Othmann and Arthur Kaliyev are candidates to enter the lineup if Miller is held out against the Maple Leafs.

Miller was not at morning skate Thursday due to an illness, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

EDGE Analysis

Miller has been hot of late with three goals and five points over his last three outings. He has 14 goals and 30 assists in 48 games split between Vancouver and the Rangers this season. Whether or not Miller is able to play Friday against the Maple Leafs at home will be determined ahead of game time. Should Miller be unable to go, Arthur Kaliyev could reenter the lineup.

Miller scored a goal and recorded five hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was coming off a two-goal effort in the win over the Penguins on Sunday, and he's notched five points across three games since the league resumed following the 4 Nations break. The 31-year-old veteran has cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last 10 appearances, tallying six goals and 11 total points over that stretch.

Miller scored a pair of goals on two shots and doled out five hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Miller's first tally at 17:00 of the second period was the 250th of his 13-season career. The 31-year-old added an empty-netter with seven seconds remaining in the contest. Miller now has four points in back-to-back games after participating in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament for Team USA. The left-shot center was held off the scoresheet in three consecutive outings prior to the break, but he's up to eight points (four goals) through seven games with the Rangers since being acquired in a trade from the Canucks on Jan. 31. On the season, Miller has accounted for 13 goals and 30 points through 47 appearances.

Miller notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 8-2 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the second period, as the Rangers made a half-hearted attempt to rally from the 5-0 hole they'd dug in the first frame. Miller has played six games since the trade that returned him to Broadway, and the 31-year-old center has recorded three two-point efforts and three goose eggs.

Miller provided two assists, had five hits and took two shots on net in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Both of Miller's assists were in the third period when he helped linemates Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin tally goals. The Rangers' new center has multi-point performances in both appearances since his return to the franchise. The 31-year-old has 11 goals, 28 assists, 90 shots on net and 100 hits in 42 appearances this season. Miller has exhibited early signs of chemistry with the rest of New York's top line as all three forwards have four points in the last two games. His situation has improved with the trade away from Vancouver as the Rangers make a push towards the playoffs. Miller is in a strong spot to produce at the elite-level pace we saw from his career-best 103-point season a year ago.

Miller scored two goals, one on the power play, in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Canucks on Friday in a blockbuster trade, Miller immediately looked comfortable in his return to the team that employed him for the first five-plus seasons of his NHL career. There will likely be some juggling as coach Peter Laviolette determines the 31-year-old center's best fit in the top six alongside the likes of Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider, but Miller should be locked in on a talented first power-play unit. He was already heating up in Vancouver prior to the trade, and over his last seven games, Miller has racked up three goals and eight points.

Miller was traded to the Rangers from the Canucks on Friday, along with Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington, in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a protected first-round draft pick, per Larry Brooks of the New York Post and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Miller is the headliner of the trade, and he will reunite with the team that drafted him 15th overall in 2011. The Canucks had been backed into a corner with Miller unable to coexist with Elias Pettersson anymore, and the Rangers clearly wanted to upgrade their forward depth, which is accomplished in this deal despite a somewhat steep price. It's expected Miller will be able to get from Dallas -- where the Canucks were scheduled to play Friday -- to Boston ahead of Saturday's 3:30 p.m. Eastern start time for the Rangers' game against the Bruins. Miller has nine goals and 35 points over 40 appearances this season.

Miller will be scratched Friday versus the Stars for trade-related reasons, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller's name has been in trade talks for weeks, but there is enough traction now to sit him out. Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports Miller has been asked to waive his no-trade clause and will do so to clear a move to the Rangers. The return is not yet known, but it will be a reunion for Miller and the Rangers after he played parts of his first six NHL seasons with the franchise.
