The New York Rangers and J.T. Miller avoided arbitration by coming to terms on a new contract, the team announced Wednesday.
While the terms were not disclosed, Miller's agent Scott Bartlett confirmed that the deal holds an annual average of $2.75 million over two years.
After managing just 15 goals and 33 points during his first three years in the league, Miller broke out this season scoring 22 goals and 43 points in 82 games.
The 23-year-old was scheduled to have an arbitration hearing Aug. 2.
