New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller exited practice on Monday with a non-contact injury and appeared to be in pain.

The team did not provide an official update, but the New York Post reported that Miller was considered day-to-day with a lower-body injury and could practice again as soon as Tuesday.

Miller lunged for a puck during a drill and remained on the ice on one knee, grabbing the back of his left leg. He skated off gingerly but without help.

Rangers coach Mike Sullivan was not at the team's facility, where Miller was hurt, because he was with the group of players scheduled to face the New York Islanders in a preseason game in Elmont, N.Y. Sullivan could only tell reporters that Miller was being evaluated.

The Rangers named Miller their next team captain earlier this month. He is early in his second stint with the franchise, having first played for them from 2012 to 2018.

New York reacquired Miller from the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 31. He racked up 13 goals and 22 assists in 32 games for the Rangers before their season ended without qualifying for the playoffs.

Miller, 32, has 709 points (260 goals, 449 assists) in 871 career games with the Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning (2018-19) and Canucks (2019-25).
