Notebook: Injured J.T. Miller doesn't make Montreal trip with team

Rangers' winger J.T. Miller, who appeared to hurt a shoulder when run into the goalpost by Montreal's Andrei Markov in Game 4 of the Eastern final, did not make the trip to Montreal on Monday.

Daniel Carcillo, who is unavailable while appealing his 10-game suspension, is with the team, as are rookies Jesper Fast and Oscar Lindberg.

The Rangers have lost four players (three injuries, one suspension) in four games of this series.

Derick Brassard returned Sunday from an injury incurred in Game 1.

Brandon Prust will sit out the second of his two-game suspension for "interfering" with Stepan's jaw.

Habs goalie Carey Price, who injured his right knee in a Game 1 collision with a sliding Chris Kreider, skated lightly on his own, but Montreal coach Michel Therrien said that's part of Price's rehab and that he remains sidelined for the series.

More coach-gate: Therrien, after all that's gone on, said he ran into Vigneault inside the Garden on Sunday.

"I saw him coming and I told him to go away because I didn't want him to hit me," Therrien said. "He laughed about it. He thought it was funny."

Vigneault added, "we all have friendships in life. Sometimes friends push the limit. You know, sometimes they do things you're not crazy about. But there is a reason why they're your friends, so relationships are about giving and taking. … when it's all over, then we're going to move on."

Road warriors: The Rangers are 6-3 on the road in these playoffs, with four straight wins, including Games 1 and 2 of this series in Montreal. They were 25-14-2 on the road during the season, establishing a franchise record for road wins, and tying for second in the NHL, that after going 2-6 to start the season on the road.

Another anniversary: Game 5 will be played on the 20th anniversary of Stephane Matteau's famous double-overtime, Game 7 goal against the Devils in the 1994 Eastern Conference final, which vaulted the Rangers into the Cup final and made historic figures of both Matteau and radio broadcaster Howie Rose:

"Matteau, Matteau, Matteau! Stephane Matteau! … The Rangers have one more hill to climb, baby, but it's Mount Vancouver."

New caps: Ex-Ranger Brian MacLellan, who scored an overtime goal in Washington to help the Rangers reach the conference final in 1986, was named the Capitals new GM, replacing another former Ranger, George McPhee.

Barry Trotz, the former long-time Nashville coach, was named coach of the Capitals.
