Status report
Miller will play after being a healthy scratch for two games. He's replacing Borgen, a defenseman. ... Trouba will miss his third straight game. The defenseman is improving day to day, Rangers coach David Quinn said. ... Kravtsov replaced Blackwell on the second line with Panarin and Strome midway through the second period of New York's 4-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday.
