When he did his pregame media briefing Friday, Rangers coach David Quinn couldn’t confirm what his lineup would look like, because, the coach said, "We still got a couple things pending here, where we’ll know a clearer picture this afternoon what our lineup will look like.’’
The "things pending’’ turned out to be that defenseman K’Andre Miller, who had missed Wednesday’s game in Philadelphia because he was placed on the Rangers’ COVID-19 list that day, came off the list and was inserted into the lineup.
Miller, the 21-year-old rookie who has been a revelation for the Blueshirts, had missed two games with an upper body injury before returning to action last week in the win over Washington.
