Miller heads back to New York, where he spent the first six seasons of his career, in exchange for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini and a 2025 top-13 protected first-round pick. Vancouver prospects Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington also went to the Rangers in the deal. Vancouver’s return was reported by the New York Post.

Vancouver is on a three-game winning streak. The Canucks are led by Quinn Hughes' 58 points, J.T. Miller's 37 points, Brock Boeser and Conor Garland's 33 points and Elias Pettersson's 32 points. Vancouver is expected to start Thatcher Demko who is 4-5-3 with a 3.

Canucks No. 1 goalie Thatcher Demko also turned away 31 of 32 shots during Vancouver’s 3-1 road win over the Nashville Predators on Wednesday. His .877 SV% and 3.27 GAA both have screaming statistical correction ahead, too. Demko posted high-end .918 and 2.45 marks last season, after all.
