The New York Rangers have finally hit the ice today for the first time since before the holiday break where they faced the New Jersey Devils and took an embarrassing 5-0 loss.
However, good news has came out of today's practice as Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has returned to practice with the team after suffering an upper-body injury back on December 11th, and then placed in IR.
The Rangers have placed D K'Andre Miller on IR with an upper-body injury.

Happy Holidays, and Greetings from Greenburgh, where K'Andre Miller is practicing with the #NYR
So with that being said, as reported by Rangers insider Larry Brooks, if K'Andre Miller returns to the lineup then the New York Rangers will be forced to make a roster transaction and reassign veteran defenseman Chad Ruhwedel to the Hartford Wolf Pack.
Miller practicing, Ruhwedel is not. Per NYR, if Miller is activated off IR and makes trip, Ruhwedel will be assigned to Wolf Pack.
The 24-year old defensman has played in 28 games this season for the Rangers, and has managed to tally two goals and four assists for a total of 6 points.
