K’Andre Miller did not compete in a second straight game Friday night when the Rangers took on the Ducks at Madison Square Garden. 

The Rangers cited personal reasons for Miller’s absence once again. 

“He came out yesterday and said he was dealing with some personal things,” head coach Peter Laviolette said. 

Miller returned to practice on Thursday after missing the game against the Maple Leafs on Tuesday and practice on Wednesday.

It’s unclear if he will be available on Saturday in Boston against the Bruins. 

As a result, Zac Jones remained in the lineup for a second consecutive game on the third pair alongside Braden Schneider. 

“I think at times there’s some tough bounces for them,” Laviolette said in evaluating the defensive pairing. “I think they move the puck well. I think they’re a good pair. I’d like to see that switch, too, where they’re on for more goals than against.

“I’m sure they do, as well. But I still think that they’re a good pair.”
