J.T. Miller admits it was Conor Garland’s idea.

Earlier in the season, Garland suggested that the team get t-shirts made up to ‘celebrate’ a milestone in a certain player’s career.

The idea never came to fruition until Monday when Miller turned the tables on Garland for his 400th game in the NHL.

When Garland arrived for the game day skate prior to the Vegas game, all the players were wearing blue t-shirts celebrating his milestone complete with his caricature and the date and opponent listed on it as well.
