The Recent York Rangers lost to the Seattle Kraken 4-2 on Monday, falling to 20-21-6 on the season. They’re second-to-last within the Eastern Conference, ahead of only the Columbus Blue Jackets. After a fast begin to the sport, the Blueshirts took a 2-0 lead lower than six minutes in. However the Rangers collapsed, leaving captain JT Miller speechless.
The reporter asks Miller, “Do you are feeling like anything dipped from that time forward?” Miller quickly put his head down, “I do not know. I’m sorry. I do not know.”
Miller was drafted by the Rangers and spent the primary eight seasons of his profession on Broadway. After a fast stop with the Tampa Bay Lightning, he spent six seasons with the Vancouver Canucks. The Rangers traded for him last season amid locker-room strife in each Recent York and Vancouver. He was named captain before the 2025-26 season.
The Rangers at the moment are within the basement of the standings again, with no answers from the locker-room leadership. While the season is much from over, the crowded nature of the standings will make it hard for the Blueshirts down the stretch. The Madison Square Garden crowd chanted “Fire Drury” on the GM through the Kraken loss. The patience from the fans has run out, and the captain doesn’t have the answers.
The trade deadline is under two months away, however the Olympic break may push trade moves up within the calendar. That may lead to the tip of the Artemi Panarin era in Recent York, which is what set the Rangers on this competitive path. A rebuild could end Miller’s tenure in Recent York and alter plenty more within the locker room.
The Rangers have lost 4 games in a row and have a game against one other brutal team, the Ottawa Senators, coming up. Can Miller’s squad get out of this hole?
