The Rangers have recalled J.T Miller from Hartford (AHL).

In 15 games with the Rangers this season he has one goal and one assist with a minus-4 rating. He has been recalled as the Rangers extra forward with Derek Dorsett battling a wrist issue. While in the AHL, Miller racked up five goals and an assist in six games. He was their 15th overall pick in 2011.

Zibanejad has been moved to the Senators second line with Kyle Turris and Clarke MacArthur.

Zibanejad has seen his ice-time increase in all three games since being recalled. He has one goal and one assist while averaging 14:05 TOI. The move to the second line will help the former sixth overall pick stay in the NHL.

The Ottawa Senators have recalled Mika Zibanejad from Binghamton (AHL).

The sixth overall pick in 2011 was a surprise cut at the end of the preseason. Since being sent down Zibanejad scored two goals and added five assists in seven games with the Senators AHL affiliate. He will be in the lineup on Wednesday vs. Detroit.

Rangers say they have assigned JT Miller to the AHL. With Ryan Callahan returning to the lineup on Monday, Miller would have been bumped out. He will return to the Hartford Wolf Pack where he will see a lot more playing time.

Miller registered one shot and an even plus/minus rating in 11:58 of playing time in the Rangers season opener.

Mika Zibanejad has been assigned to Binghamton (AHL).

This is surprising, Zibanejad had a great preseason and looked like a lock to make the Sens roster. He had seven goals and 13 assists (20 points) in 42 games for Ottawa last season. The move was likely made because Zibanejad is waiver exempt and the Senators did not want to expose Stephane Da Costa to waivers. Expect to see Zibanejad back with Ottawa soon.
