K’Andre Miller’s rare Rangers absence due to ‘personal reasons’
KAndre Miller did not play in the Rangers 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden due to what was described as personal reasons.
It was just the seventh game the 23-year-old defenseman has missed in his three-year NHL career.
Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette declined to elaborate on the situation or say whether Millers absence would be for more than just a single game.
Right now, its just personal reasons for Key, he said. Were going to leave it at that.
As a rookie, Miller missed two games due to an upper-body injury and one due to COVID-19. He then missed three contests last season when he was suspended for spitting on the Kings Drew Doughty.
Without Miller, Zac Jones drew back into the lineup for the first time since Nov. 27. He returned to his usual post on the left side of the bottom pair alongside Braden Schneider.
Jones had a run of 10 games in November after Adam Fox landed on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury.

For precautionary reasons, the Rangers called up defenseman Matthew Robertson for the first time in his career.
A second-round pick (49th overall) in 2019 by the Rangers, the 22-year-old blueliner has only participated with the NHL club in training camp or as a member of the taxi squad.
In 22 games with the Hartford Wolf Pack this season, Robertson has eight assists and 14 penalty minutes.
Robertson was returned to the AHL at the conclusion of Tuesdays game.
