J.T. Miller was a New York Ranger a long time ago. With smoke picking up around the East Palestine, Ohio native, where would he slot into the current roster?

For weeks, the New York Rangers have been involved in the rumor mill about a potential reunion with J.T. Miller. However, it might be a mistake for president and general manager Chris Drury to pull the trigger – especially when hearing some of the latest rumblings.

The New York Rangers secured a 5–0 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night, extending their point streak to nine games (6-0-3) without having suffered a regulation loss since Jan. 4. The game featured a strong team performance from the Rangers and from Matt Rempe in particular, who delivered both a goal and a fight in New York's effort.

Despite the skirmish, Shesterkin completed the game with 20 saves, earning his second consecutive shutout. Alexis Lafreniere, Will Cuylle, Arthur Kaliyev, Artemi Panarin, and Rempe all scored for the Rangers. Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette brushed off the incident as part of the game.

There is obviously much more to this dramatic turnaround than No. 73, who was serving his eight-game suspension when the Rangers began to reverse their fortunes, but the fact is that the Blueshirts are 7-2-3 with Rempe in the lineup this season and are 21-4-4 with him over the past two regular seasons, 29-7-4 including the playoffs.

The real story is Shesterkin’s 164:03 shutout streak, dating back to the opening minute of the second period in Salt Lake City last week. The Rangers are playing so much better in front of their goalies this month that their numbers are bound to be better, but Shesterkin is also very much on point after his brief absence at the start of January.

Since returning from a stint on IR, Igor Shesterkin hs played exceptionally well for the New York Rangers in five starts, raising their playoff hopes after a long dismal stretch of poor play.

The Lightning are coming off a loss versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, and are now 5-6-1 dating back to Montreal’s visit in late December. They know they need to start playing better to fend off the Habs and the other teams rising up the Eastern Conference standings. The question is how much more Montreal wants to win tonight’s game.

There was momentum on J.T. Miller getting traded to the New York Rangers on Saturday, but the deal collapsed per NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. Miller was supposedly being held out of Saturday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers while some AHL players in the Rangers organization were scratched.
