New York Rangers captain J.T. Miller is facing a setback after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. According to a person familiar with the situation, Miller's status is currently week-to-week, but his participation in the upcoming Milan Olympics remains uncertain. Miller left the game after taking a big hit from Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler and was seen favoring his right arm or shoulder while in pain on the bench. The 32-year-old forward did not travel with the Rangers for their game against the Nashville Predators on Sunday. The Rangers' team captain has been a crucial part of the team's success this season, recording 10 goals and 12 assists in 35 games. His potential absence from the team has sparked concerns, with teammate Mika Zibanejad expressing his concerns for Miller's well-being. Miller's participation in the Olympics, scheduled to begin on February 11, is now under scrutiny. With the roster deadline set for December 31, the team will have to make a decision on his selection soon. The team's coach, Mike Sullivan, confirmed that Miller is still being evaluated in New York, leaving the Rangers' fans worried about the captain's future with the team. Fellow player Artemi Panarin expressed his hope for Miller's speedy recovery, stating that it's 'pretty sad that he had to leave the game, but I hope that he'll be all right.'
