In short, he's been a perfect fit for New York. Miller has played in eight games since the trade. In that span, he's recorded five goals, four assists, and 14 shots on goal over 17:35 minutes of average ice time.

The Vancouver Canucks look like a totally different team since they traded Miller and acquired Pettersson, O'Connor and Chytil.

The wait for a JT Miller trade is finally over. The Vancouver Canucks have dealt the veteran forward to the New York Rangers in exchange for Filip Chytil and a conditional first-round pick.

A blockbuster NHL trade on Friday night sent Vancouver Canucks star center J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers.

Miller's first tally at 17:00 of the second period was the 250th of his career in his 13th NHL season. The 31-year-old added an empty-netter with seven seconds remaining in the contest. Miller now has four points in back-to-back games after participating in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament for Team USA.

Adam Fox scored the go-ahead goal at 11:26 of the third period, J.T. Miller had two goals and the New York Rangers rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 on Sunday. Will Cuylle scored on the power play and Jimmy Vesey added his 100th NHL goal for the Rangers.

Since arriving in Vancouver, Miller had been an elite point producer with stretches of excellent two-way play. This season didn’t go as smoothly as his feud with Elias Pettersson boiled over. Miller was also clearly banged up starting from opening night and took a significant leave of absence.
