It's July 18th, from the locker room to your ears. This is New York Rangers News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. JT. Miller is back in his favorite number, 10 for the upcoming Rangers season. He wore number 8 for a while, but that number was already taken by Artemi Panarin. Now that Panarin's moved on, Miller gets to rock the 10 again, a number he's worn before with the Rangers and the Tapa Bay Lightning. This isn't the first time Miller's number has changed. When he first came up with the Rangers as a rookie, he wore 47 He eventually got number 10 after Marian Gaborik was traded, and it's a number with a lot of history for the team, worn by legends like Guy Lafleur and Isa Tikhonen. The Rangers also announced some other number changes this week. Defenseman Sean Durzi is switching to number 5 Pavel Dorofeyev, who was traded from Vegas, will wear number 16
Marcus Pettersson, acquired from Vancouver, is taking number 26
Oliver Bjorkstrand is returning to number 28, a number he wore for years in Columbus. Goalie Joonas Korpisalo, who came over from Boston, will continue to wear 70 And finally, Joe Veleno, signed as a free agent, will sport number 90 It's always interesting to see these number changes happen around the league. It's more than just a digit. It connects players to the team's past and their own personal journeys.
We'll see how these new numbers fit these players next season.
