K’Andre Miller is out on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning as he deals with an illness.
Miller did not practice with the New York Rangers on Sunday while he was also absent on Monday morning for the team’s optional skate.
Zac Jones filled in for Miller on the second power-play unit during practice and will also take his spot in the lineup.
Matt Rempe is also set to return after missing four games with an upper-body injury and Brett Berard will serve as a healthy scratch.
