Miller is expected to be a scratch for Friday's game in Dallas.

Miller will likely be held out of the lineup due to a potential trade in the works. Frank Seravalli has reported that Miller has verbally agreed to waive his no-trade clause to return to the Rangers, and the two teams are working towards completing a deal.

Shesterkin will start vs. Philadelphia on Thursday.

The Rangers enter Thursday's contest as -147 home favorites against a Flyers club with points in six straight (5-0-1).
