Canucks news: J.T. Miller taking ‘indefinite leave for personal reasons’
Vancouver Canucks Face New York Rangers Without J.T. Miller
When the Vancouver Canucks take on the New York Rangers on Tuesday, fans will notice a key player missing from the lineup.
Star forward J.T. Miller has taken an unexpected “indefinite leave for personal reasons,” leaving a void on the ice for the Canucks. General manager Patrik Allvin expressed the organization’s full support for Miller during this time.
Miller’s absence comes after a game against the Nashville Predators where he saw limited ice time, raising questions about his performance and potential injury concerns. However, coach Rick Tocchet clarified that Miller’s reduced playing time was not related to any lingering health issues.
With Miller out, the Canucks are facing additional challenges as right-winger Brock Boeser and goalie Thatcher Demko are also sidelined with injuries. Boeser is recovering from an upper-body injury, while Demko is dealing with a knee issue.
Despite these setbacks, the Canucks remain focused on their upcoming game against the Rangers and will look to rally together in Miller’s absence.
Stay tuned for updates on Miller’s status and the Canucks’ ongoing season as they navigate through these challenges.
