The Rangers are currently without one of their top defensemen.
On Friday, K'Andre Miller was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.
He is not scheduled to participate in the Rangers' three-game road trip starting Sunday.
Miller left the Rangers' 3-2 win over the Sabers with an injury on Wednesday, but it's unclear when he was injured.
He was hit hard by Jordan Greenway in the second period, but continued to play for the rest of the period. However, he then did not play in the third period.
Miller, the Rangers' first-round pick in the 2018 draft, has two goals and four assists this year and is minus-5 on the ice.
Connor McKee was paired with Braden Schneider in Friday's practice. Miller was skating with Schneider before his injury.
McKee has yet to play for the Rangers this year and appeared in one game last year.
He has appeared in 22 AHL games this year, recording two goals and four assists, and is a plus-2 on the ice.
