Rangers Recall Brett Berard After Placing Captain J.T. Miller on IR

New York sought immediate forward depth following J.T. Miller’s IR designation.

Overview

  • Miller was moved to injured reserve in a corresponding move and is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury reportedly tied to his right shoulder.
  • Berard, 23, was recalled from AHL Hartford and is available for Tuesday’s game against the Capitals.
  • Illness has recently sidelined Artemi Panarin, Matt Rempe and Gabe Perreault, reducing options up front.
  • Berard went scoreless in 11 NHL games earlier this season and has nine points in 19 AHL games after a 25-goal AHL rookie year in 2023–24.
  • Before the injury, Miller produced eight points in his last 10 games and is tied for the NHL lead with three overtime goals, heightening the impact of his absence.
