Vancouver Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks scored three goals in the final minute of regulation to force overtime before right wing Kiefer Sherwood scored the game-winning goal to complete a phenomenal 6-5 comeback road win over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.

Center Aatu Raty scored with one minute left to cut the lead to 5-3 before center Pius Suter scored goals with 30 seconds and then six seconds left to tie the game at five. Then Kiefer Sherwood scored the game-winner with 1:16 left in OT to complete the near-impossible comeback.

Per NHL Public Relations, the Canucks became the first team to win a game after losing by three goals in the final minute of regulation.

It was an amazing win for the Canucks, whose ever-so-slight hopes to qualify for the playoffs remained alive.

Meanwhile, it was a brutal loss for the Stars, with WFAA's Mike Leslie putting it into perspective.

Needless to say, fans tipped their caps to the Canucks.

The Canucks need to win out and get a lot of help to make the playoffs, but after their remarkable finish, they're still alive. Up next is a road matchup with the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

J.T. Miller is reportedly headed back to Manhattan.

The New York Rangers and Vancouver Canucks agreed to a trade that will bring Miller back to where his NHL career began in 2013, per the Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.

The Canucks are also sending defenseman Erik Brännström and NCAA prospect Jackson Dorrington to New York, per Larry Brooks of the New York Post.

In return the Canucks will receive veteran center Filip Chytil, rookie defenseman Victor Mancini and a protected 2025 first-round pick, according to Brooks, Seravalli and ESPN's Emily Kaplan.

The pick is top-13 protected and could potentially slide to 2026, per Seravalli.

Miller is expected to join the Rangers for Saturday night's game against the Boston Bruins, per Kaplan.

The report comes after The Athletic's Rick Dhaliwal said Miller would be scratched for the Canucks' Friday night road game against the Dallas Stars.

Miller had a full no-move clause on his contract, which he would have had to waive to facilitate the deal.

The alternate captain has been at the center of trade rumors this season amid a reported rift between himself and Canucks defenseman Elias Pettersson. Miller has previously told reporters the feud was "created" by the media.

The Athletic's Josh Yohe reported in early January the Canucks had turned down a trade offer for Miller that would have sent Mika Zibanejad to Vancouver. Friedman later added that the talks stalled because the Canucks didn't include Braden Schneider in the deal.

Miller was almost held out of a home game against the Edmonton Oilers on Jan. 18 because of a potential trade with the New York Rangers, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. The deal "would have involved multiple players and draft picks," per ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.

The Canucks had also discussed trade scenarios involving Pettersson, according to Wyshynski. But after the latest round of negotiations with the Rangers proved more successful, it will ultimately be Miller leaving Vancouver less than one year after leading the Canucks to the second round with the best season of his career.

Miller paced the Canucks with 103 points in 81 regular-season games in 2023-24 to help Vancouver win 50 games for the first time since the Henrik and Daniel Sedin era.

Although the Canucks were eliminated in seven games by the Edmonton Oilers on their way to the Stanley Cup Finals, the hope was that Quinn Hughes' team would regroup and go on a deeper run in 2025.

But bad injury luck including the extended absence of starting netminder Thatcher Demko, combined with the scrutiny surrounding the relationship between Miller and Pettersson, have exacerbated what has already been a difficult start to the 2024-25 season. The reigning Pacific Division leaders are fighting for a wild card spot as the trade deadline approaches.

Miller has played for the Canucks since he was traded to Vancouver by the Tampa Bay Lightning ahead of the 2019-20 season.

After three straight 30-goal seasons, his production dipped early in the 2024-25 campaign to nine goals and 26 assists for 35 points in 40 games.

The center, who turns 32 in March, made his NHL debut with the Rangers in 2013. He played 341 regular-season games and 40 postseason contests for the franchise prior to his 2018 trade to the Lightning.

Having grown into as a second-line center in Vancouver, Miller will likely be taking on a larger role in New York this time around.

Like the Canucks, the Rangers have fallen into a race for a Wild Card spot after an underwhelming start to the season. The team will hope reworking their top six can help spark a playoff push over the second half of the season.

Adding Miller's contract means yet another long-term contract commitment added to New York's crowded salary cap. Miller is signed through the 2029-30 season, with a full no-trade clause through 2026-27 and a 15-team no-trade list over the final three years of the deal, according to Spotrac.

The Vancouver Canucks reportedly turned down an offer from the New York Rangers to trade Mika Zibanejad for J.T. Miller earlier this season, according to The Athletic's Josh Yohe.

Both Miller and Zibanejad hold a no-move clauses. Even if the Canucks had pursued the trade, both players would have had to agree to the swap.

Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos did recently report he believes Miller would be willing to waive his no-move clause in order to go to the Rangers.

Despite a goalscoring slump Miller is having the more productive season of the pair, with 29 points (eight goals, 21 assists) in 29 contests. Zibanejad has meanwhile recorded 24 points (eight goals, 16 assists) while skating in ten more games.

Rangers general manager Chris Drury has been open about his willingness to trade core players this season. Drury went so far as to send a memo to all 31 teams advertising the availability of roster members in November, as reported by Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and confirmed by multiple sources.

The Rangers have since traded captain Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks and forward Kaapo Kakko to the Seattle Kraken.

Those deals have yet to spark a resurgence for a team that went into the season expecting to be a playoff contender. The Rangers headed into the New Year outside of the playoff bubble and trailing only the Buffalo Sabres for the most regulation losses (20) in the Eastern Conference.

The Canucks are looking for a deadline shakeup of their own, according to Friedman. The NHL insider recently said on an episode of The FAN Hockey Show that tension between Miller and Canucks forward Elias Pettersson "has begun to spill over elsewhere into the organization."

Pettersson does not have a no-trade clause, although his contract will present a challenge should the Canucks decide to turn to a trade to resolve the reported split. The forward is in the first year of an eight-year, $92.8 million deal that has him set to remain on the books through the 2031-32 season.

The Canucks and Rangers both made it to the second round last season, with the Rangers getting as far as the Eastern Conference Final. Given that neither team currently looks on track for a deeper run, there's still a chance they could look to shake things up by moving Miller or Zibanejad before the March 7 trade deadline.
