KAndre Miller returns to Rangers lineup after two-game absence: ‘Better headspace’
BOSTON KAndre Miller returned to the Rangers lineup and was reunited with partner Jacob Trouba for Saturdays 2-1 overtime victory over the Bruins here after having missed the previous two matches for personal reasons.

Saturday, Edstrom did get the rookie lap ahead of the match but became a healthy scratch when Bonino returned.
He was returned to Hartford after Saturday’s win.
Chris Kreider has recorded 281 career goals that represents the third-most in franchise history, trailing only Blueshirt icons Rod Gilbert (406) and Jean Ratelle (336) after surpassing Adam Graves (280) by scoring twice in Fridays 5-1 victory over the Ducks at the Garden.
But one thing the native of Boxford, Mass. about 25 miles from TD Garden who strolled onto the Rangers varsity from the Boston College Chestnut Hill Campus for the 2012 playoffs, does not do is score goals in Boston.
