The New York Rangers have signed restricted free-agent blue-liner K'Andre Miller to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

Financial terms weren't disclosed, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports Miller's new average annual value is $3.872 million. He'll be an RFA again when his deal expires in 2025.

Miller set career highs in goals (nine), points (43), and average ice time (21:57) this past season while appearing in 79 regular-season games. He's a key cog on New York's penalty kill and has posted impressive defensive metrics for a young rearguard.

Miller was the 22nd overall pick in 2018. He played two seasons at the University of Wisconsin and represented the United States at the world juniors on two occasions before breaking into the NHL during the shortened 2020-21 campaign.

The Rangers are now left with approximately $2.3 million to sign their final RFA, 2020 first overall pick Alexis Lafreniere.
