Players To Watch:
New York Rangers
J.T. Miller has 16 points in 15 games since being acquired by the Rangers from Vancouver before the trade deadline. Miller has 51 points on the season and is on pace for 64 points, well shy of his 103 points a year ago. The East Palestine, Ohio native has been one of the main reasons the Rangers have turned their season around and are competing for a playoff spot.
Minnesota Wild
Matt Boldy had an assist and the shootout winner to snap a brief two-game losing streak for the Wild. Boldy has gone eight straight games without a goal but still has five assists over that span. The Millis, Massachusetts native leads the Wild in scoring with 55 points (21g, 34a) in 65 games.
