Here are a few of his numbers from the victory over the Penguins: 22:38 time on ice, a hit, a block, plus-2. Pittsburgh had just six scoring chances against at five-on-five while Miller was on the ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And yes, a solid 6:04 of those minutes came against Sidney Crosby, per Natural Stat Trick, a matchup in which Miller didn\u2019t back down and ended up coming out on top.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe seems to get better every game,\u201d Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said following practice Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Penguins-Rangers-Hockey-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"K'Andre Miller skates during the Rangers' win over the Penguins.\" class=\"wp-image-21673950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Penguins-Rangers-Hockey-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Penguins-Rangers-Hockey-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Penguins-Rangers-Hockey-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Penguins-Rangers-Hockey-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>K\u2019Andre Miller skates during the Rangers\u2019 win over the Penguins. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Heading into the Rangers\u2019 match Sunday against the Sabres, Miller and Trouba have played a hair over 1,020 minutes together, the most of any duo in the NHL, per MoneyPuck, with a handy 55.8 percent goals for share.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrouba\u2019s been really good for him and he\u2019s a young kid,\u201d Gallant said. \u201cHe joins the rush, he makes good offensive plays and he\u2019s playing solid and he\u2019s getting more physical defensively.

The impact is, however, and Miller has made strides in taking care of himself away from the ice.

Asked Saturday to compare the pressure he feels to that of former top pick Alexis Lafreniere, Miller posited that it was about the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Left unsaid is that Miller, a former 22nd-overall pick, has coped better than the former No. 1 pick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing obviously in college for those two years prepared me to make this jump and I think the guys that we have around the locker room are a great support system,\u201d Miller said. \u201cWe have great guys in that locker room that you can talk to and break down the game with. So I think that\u2019s one of the biggest things for me is learning from the older guys with experience and growing that into my game.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
