Miller notched a power-play assist, five hits and two PIM in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Blues in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Miller is not in the Jets' usual plans on defense, but he appears to be the next man up when another blueliner is unavailable. That happened Thursday with Dylan DeMelo (illness) being a late scratch. Miller had 15 points, 68 shots on net, 84 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating across 60 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, mainly in a bottom-four role.

Miller notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Miller got a chance to fill a larger role Sunday with Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk out of the lineup for rest. Prior to Sunday, Miller had been scratched for the previous three games. The 32-year-old has seen some power-play time recently when Pionk was out due to a lower-body injury. Overall, Miller has 15 points (two on the power play), 68 shots on net, 84 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances this season. He may not be an every-game player in the postseason.

Miller (illness) was on the ice at Thursday's game-day skate and projects to be a healthy scratch versus the Stars, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Neal Pionk (lower body) looking ready to return to action, Miller once again finds himself as the odd man out on the blue line. Deadline acquisition Luke Schenn seems to have positioned himself ahead of Miller on the depth chart, which could force Miller to play on his offside if he wants to get back into the lineup.

Miller (illness) will not suit up Monday against St. Louis, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Haydn Fleury will draw into the lineup in Miller's stead versus the Blues. The 32-year-old Miller will look to return to game action Thursday in a heavyweight matchup against the Stars.

Miller is battling an illness and will be a game-time call versus St. Louis on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller missed the morning skate due to his illness and is questionable to be ready to face the Blues on Monday. If Miller isn't available, Haydn Fleury looks set to play for just the second time in Winnipeg's last eight contests. Given his lack of offensive upside, Miller's potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers.

Miller scored a power-play goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has picked up time on the second power-play unit while Neal Pionk (lower body) recovers from his injury. This was Miller's first power-play point of the season, though he's collected a total of three points across his last six contests while filling a larger role. He's still seeing bottom-four minutes most of the time, so he's not a strong fantasy option. The defenseman has four goals, 10 assists, 63 shots on net, 84 hits, 47 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 58 outings.

Miller scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
This was Miller's first goal since Oct. 30 versus the Red Wings. He racked up six assists over 42 outings between goals, and he continues to fill a part-time role on the third pairing. He's in the lineup more often than not, but if his play slips, Haydn Fleury or Ville Heinola could get a look. Miller has 12 points, 58 shots on net, 75 hits, 42 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 53 appearances this season.

Miller recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-1 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Miller's playing time could be at risk after the Jets acquired fellow right-shot defenseman Luke Schenn at the trade deadline. The 32-year-old Miller has largely played a third-pairing role this season, earning 11 points over 47 appearances, including two assists over his last seven games. Miller and Schenn are different players in style -- Miller has a little more scoring upside, while Schenn is an ultra-physical player, so who gets the last spot in the lineup in any given game may depend on the opposing team's playing style.

Miller provided an assist, two hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Miller ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old defenseman has seen sporadic playing time since the start of December, though he was able to play Saturday with Josh Morrissey (illness) out of action. Miller is up to 10 points, 43 shots on net, 57 hits, 32 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 41 appearances, surpassing his total of nine points across 46 outings from the 2023-24 regular season.

Miller produced an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Miller missed the previous five games due to a fractured larynx suffered versus the Red Wings on Jan. 4. The 32-year-old returned to a third-pairing role, but his spot in the lineup is likely up for grabs. Ville Heinola was the scratch on defense Saturday, and Haydn Fleury (lower body) will also be in the mix for playing time once he's activated from injured reserve. Miller has nine points, 40 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 35 appearances this season, but he may be heading toward a part-time role once the Jets are at full strength.
