J.T. Miller’s return to the New York Rangers became successful very quickly when he scored in the opening period against the Boston Bruins, a day after he was acquired in a trade from Vancouver.

The New York Rangers entered Saturday afternoon’s game on a high after trading for J.T. Miller less than 24 hours before, but were quickly humbled as they lost 6-3 to the Boston Bruins in demoralizing fashion.
