Canucks fans relishing performance reports about J.T. Miller

J.T. Miller's slump continued on Tuesday night at a time that the New York Rangers need him the most as they're pushing for a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

It's been nearly seven weeks since the Vancouver Canucks traded J.T. Miller to the team that drafted him, the New York Rangers, after a reported rift with forward Elias Pettersson.

Miller was exactly the type of player that the New York Rangers were searching for on the trade market earlier on in 2025 as the team wanted someone that could bring more scoring depth and grit to the lineup.

J.T. Miller's slump continues vs. Calgary Flames on Tuesday

J.T. Miller's second stint with the New York Rangers started out strong with two goals in his first game, which came against the Boston Bruins and two assists on day later at home against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Since then, Miller's production has been up and down, and while he has eight points so far in the month of March, he's had a bit of trouble putting the puck in the back of the net.

When the buzzer sounded at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night at the end of the third period, it marked the eighth straight game that J.T. Miller has not scored, with his last marker coming on March 3 during a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders.

This isn't the longest goal-less streak of the season for J.T. Miller, either, which feels strange to say for someone who's been so consistent over the years.

Between Nov. 17 and Jan. 3, Miller went 12 games without a goal, snapping that streak with a two-goal performance on Jan. 6 against Montreal.

After that game against the Montreal Canadiens, Miller then went on an eight-game goal-less streak, before scoring his final goal as a member of the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 27 against the St. Louis Blues.

The New York Rangers paid a big price to acquire J.T. Miller, giving up defensive prospect Victor Mancini, forward Filip Chytil and a 2025 first-round pick and they're hoping that he'll break out of his slump in the coming days with some very important games left on the schedule.

Miller and the Rangers will face Toronto Thursday night before hosting his former club, the Vancouver Canucks, at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

Rangers Sign Former Stanley Cup Champion to Tryout Agreement

The New York Rangers are adding to their forward depth ahead of their upcoming training camp. The Rangers are entering a new chapter of their organization under new head coach Mike Sullivan. After missing the postseason last year, the organization is trying to rebound and respond accordingly in 2025 and 2026. Former Stanley Cup champion forward Conor Sheary is the latest player to join the new-look Rangers. The veteran forward agreed to a professional tryout agreement (PTO) with the club and will look to earn an NHL deal with his performance in training camp and the preseason. Sheary is a veteran of 593 NHL games. Originally an undrafted free agent, he signed with the Pittsburgh Penguins after completing his collegiate career. Following a year with the Penguins' AHL affiliate, he forced his way onto the NHL squad after posting 36 points in his first 30 games of the 2015-2016 season at the AHL level. His debut NHL season went better than ever expected, and he was a key part of the Penguins' lineup that won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017. Sheary's coach at the time, both at the AHL and NHL levels, was Mike Sullivan. Now, he'll get the chance to reunite with the coach under whom he won two championships. In addition to playing for the Penguins, Sheary has played for three other NHL franchises. The Pens dealt him to the Buffalo Sabres before the 2018-2019 campaign, but he would return to Pittsburgh the following season at the trade deadline. After his second stint with the Penguins, he joined the Washington Capitals. He played three seasons in Washington, D.C. before landing with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he spent the past two years. Over his 593 career games, he's compiled 124 goals and 143 assists for 267 points. His best NHL season came during the 2016-2017 campaign, his second in the league. He scored 23 goals and added 30 assists for 53 points in 61 regular-season games.

Packers send subtle message they're not satisfied with competition at key position after latest roster decision

The Green Bay Packers want to let training camp play out to see how their depth at cornerback is before making significant additions to the group. But after three days of practice, general manager Brian Gutekunst decided to sign another depth piece to create extra competition. On Saturday, beyond confirming the previously reported addition of running back Israel Abanikanda, the Packers also signed rookie cornerback Garnett Hollis Jr. He is a 6-0, 199-pound player. Undrafted, Hollis played three seasons at Northwestern before transferring to West Virginia before his final college season in 2024. Throughout his college career, the defensive back had 124 tackles (including five for loss), two interceptions, 12 passes defended, and one forced fumble. He spent some time with the Tennessee Titans after the draft. "I like our depth there," Gutekunst had told Cheesehead TV back in June. "I do think between Kalen King, Kamal Hadden, and Micah Robinson, there's going to be some really good competition for the back end into that roster. I'm excited to give those guys that opportunity to see." Bleacher Report's Cory Giddings projected Hollis as a fifth-round prospect, highlighting his aggressive and physical presence in the run game. "Garnett Hollis Jr. projects as a developmental prospect who will likely find his role as a physical outside cornerback in zone-heavy schemes. His size, length, and aggression make him an asset against bigger-bodied receivers and in run support, but his movement limitations and inconsistent tackling could cap his ceiling as a backup or rotational player. Hollis will need to refine his technique and improve his consistency to carve out a role at the next level." — Cory Giddings Competition on the roster In the first week of camp, the Packers have played with Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs outside, and safety Javon Bullard primarily in the slot. Carrington Valentine has also had significant time with the ones. The roster has Bo Melton, recently converted from wide receiver, Kamal Hadden, Kalen King, and Micah Robinson with more chances. The bottom of the depth chart has veteran Gregory Junior, Isaiah Dunn, and undrafted rookie Tyron Herring. Johnathan Baldwin is also officially listed as a cornerback, but he's practiced mostly at safety so far.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin Sees A Ton Of Promise In Potential High-Impact Rookie

The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering the 2025 season with a new-look roster on the offensive side of the ball. The quarterback position has turned over once again, and DK Metcalf is now the top wide receiver in Pittsburgh after the organization decided to acquire him and then trade away George Pickens. Jonnu Smith has also entered the picture on offense, while Jaylen Warren will be taking over the duties as the lead running back. This is his first time taking on that role, as Najee Harris was the bell cow in Pittsburgh for the last four seasons and he never missed a game. Warren will be the main focus at running back, but the Steelers did a good job of filling out that room as a whole. Signing Kenneth Gainwell in free agency was a good way to bring a veteran presence into the room, and adding Kaleb Johnson in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft was an exciting pick with a ton of value. Head Coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the rookie running back following practice on Thursday, and he had nothing but good things to say about Johnson. "He does, he's highly conditioned and that helps development," Tomlin said. "When you're in really good shape, you can take additional reps and reps equals [getting] better. And so he handled the first leg of it. He's come in really good shape. He's really engaged and obviously he's got some talent. You guys saw that today." Tomlin said this when asked whether or not Johnson has a high floor as a rookie running back in the NFL, and the coach was clearly impressed with the way the rookie was prepared coming into camp. He also seems to know the playbook pretty well. It is hard to tell much from the early training camp practices, but he certainly stood out. The staff in Pittsburgh clearly has high hopes for Johnson, which could lead to more playing time early on. Johnson will begin the season behind Warren, but the two are expected to share the workload in some regard. The rookie has a high ceiling, and Pittsburgh is going to want to take advantage of the entirety of his cheaper, rookie deal. Many have speculated that Johnson will be the lead back by the time the 2025 season is over, with Warren returning to the role of being a third down back, similar to what he did when Harris was on the team. When Pittsburgh initially selected Johnson in the spring, some hated on the pick due to his slower 40-yard dash time. However, the back looks extremely fast on the field, and fans should get a better idea of the kind of player he can be when the Steelers put on the pads next week. Steelers’ Running Back Situation Will Be Interesting To Monitor Gainwell will likely be the third running back on the depth chart during the 2025 season, but he should have some packages and plays where he is the primary focus. He is dangerous with the ball in his hands, especially in the passing game. He and Warren have a similar skill set, while Johnson stands out in the trio. In addition to those three backs, Pittsburgh also has Cordarrelle Patterson on the roster. It was thought that he would be released by this point, but he remains in Pittsburgh for now. He could be cut at the end of camp, as it seems he is the clear fourth running back on the depth chart and he was one of the worst kick returners in the league during the 2024 season. It is known that Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith likes him and his versatility on offense. It’s his ability to play special teams as well that could keep him on the roster in 2025. What do you expect from Johnson in his rookie year?

Chicago Bulls Expected to Part Ways With 2x All-Star: Report

The Chicago Bulls have made a concerted effort in the last year or so to get younger and not add much future salary to keep their books open. They let DeMar DeRozan walk in free agency, traded Zach LaVine midseason, and traded Lonzo Ball for Isaac Okoro to the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason. There are only two players remaining on the Bulls roster older than 28 years old: Jevon Carter and Nikola Vucevic. Carter doesn't have much value around the NBA with his $6.8 million salary, while Vucevic is 35 years old with a $20 million salary, which makes him hard to move. NBA insider Jake Vischer revealed on a Bleacher Report stream that "There hasn't been much of a market for Nikola Vucevic all along, dating back to last trade deadline. I think at this juncture, we're probably more likely to see a Nikola Vucevic buyout midseason than we are to see a trade." If the Bulls are only able to buy Vucevic out, it would be yet another example of poor asset management from this front office. They had trade offers for Vucevic a few years ago and decided not to take them, and they may now have to pay him to go away. It doesn't help that the Bulls traded Wendell Carter Jr. and two first-round picks, one of them becoming Franz Wagner, in order to get him. All of that to make the playoffs just once since Vucevic has been in Chicago. The Golden State Warriors were a team rumored to be interested in him at one point in time, but that interest has clearly cooled off.
