As the trade deadline draws closer, the Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers may end up being partners after all following new reports of their interest in a Blueshirts defenseman.

K’Andre Miller was dialed in on both sides of the puck in the Rangers’ 6-1 trouncing of the Flyers on Thursday night at the Garden.

Speaking on his 32 Thoughts podcast Monday, Friedman explained that the 28-year-old defenseman’s value might be more to the Rangers because of how he has helped bring out the best in K’Andre Miller’s game since they were teamed on the second defense pair in New York.

In perhaps the biggest offseason move so far, Penn State hired away Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to make him the highest-paid coordinator in college football history. The Commanders kept up their aggressive play-calling with multiple early gambles in Sunday's NFC championship game.

The Rangers had just killed a penalty to Ryan Lindgren and Vincent Trocheck, at the end of his shift, found himself on a partial breakaway in the final minute, with Carolina defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere chasing him. Trocheck opted not to shoot, but instead tried to drop a pass to a trailing K’Andre Miller. But the pass didn’t get through.

The defenseman, who was traded to the Rangers in December for Kaapo Kakko, signed a five-year, $20.5 million contract extension on Saturday.

The Rangers had chances, but could not capitalize against the Hurricanes, missing a chance to stay in the playoff hunt.

The Rangers’ climb back into the playoff picture is a reflection of how well they’ve been playing of late (8-1-3 in January). It also shows how deep of a hole they dug earlier in the year: They’ve had a sustained stretch of strong hockey and still haven’t fully erased the damage.

NY Rangers HC Peter Laviolette made his feelings known about defenseman K'Andre Miller's step-up in offense in the New York Rangers' 6-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday.

Artturi Lehkonen scored the tiebreaking goal with 14.7 seconds left and Mackenzie Blackwood made 33 saves and the Colorado Avalanche defeated the New York Rangers 5-4.

The Penguins are looking to add young NHL talent, making Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller a perfect trade fit.

The New York Rangers are all set for their matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at 7 PM EST. Here’s everything you need to know from a Rangers perspective. Projected
