Forward J.T. Miller was named captain of the New York Rangers on Tuesday.
Acquired in a Jan. 31 trade from Vancouver, Miller is the 29th captain in team history. The last captain for the Rangers was defenseman Jacob Trouba, who was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in December 2024, weeks before Miller's arrival.
'We're pleased to announce J.T. Miller as the new captain of the New York Rangers,' general manager Chris Drury said. 'Since his arrival last season, J.T. immediately became a leader for our group and exemplifies how we want to conduct ourselves both on and off the ice. Congratulations to J.T. and his entire family on an incredibly meaningful achievement and we're confident he will continue to represent our organization with class, commitment, and integrity.'
Miller, 32, tallied 70 points (48 assists) in 72 total games last season and had 35 points (22 assists) for the Rangers upon arrival from the Canucks. He was the only player in the NHL with 70 points and 160 hits last season.
Originally selected by the Rangers with the 15th pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, Miller has 709 points (260 goals, 449 assists) in 871 regular-season games. He played in the Stanley Cup Final with the Rangers in 2014 and has 56 points (12 goals, 44 assists) in 91 postseason games.
