In his return to the Bruins' lineup, Miller (lower body) logged four hits in 17:09 worth of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Miller's hard shot and swift skating ability have yet to translate into much fantasy value this season, as the 24-year-old blueliner has been limited to three goals and six points over 35 games to date. That's not likely to change unless Miller starts seeing additional opportunities on the Bruins' power play.

Miller (lower body) is ready to return to game action and will likely suit up for Tuesday night's matchup with the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

While Miller is still technically on injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site, all signs point to his return after he's missed the last six contests to injury. He and Kevan Miller (concussion), who is also returning Tuesday night, will likely make up Boston's third defensive pairing and will look to provide a spark for a team that has dropped its last four games.

Miller (lower body) has been cleared to absorb full contact.

EDGE Analysis

That said, his status (as well as that of fellow blueliner Kevan Miller) for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings has yet to be determined. With the Bruins in the midst of a four-game slide, we suspect that both Millers will be ushered back into the lineup as soon as they are healthy enough to suit up for game action.

Miller (lower body) is on injured reserve, according to the NHL's official media website.

EDGE Analysis

Miller will be eligible to play once healthy, but there's been no word on a potential timetable for the defender's return to game action. His continued absence will test the Bruins' depth at defense, but won't mean much to fantasy owners, as his meager offensive production -- six points in 34 games this campaign -- keeps him from being a practical option in most season-long formats.

Miller (lower body) is in line to remain sidelined Friday against Chicago, based on the Bruins' defensive pairings at the team's morning skate.

EDGE Analysis

John-Michael Liles and Joe Morrow are thus slated to remain part of the Bruins' blue-line mix Friday, with both Colin and Kevan Miller still sidelined.

Based on the Bruins' defensive pairings during the team's morning skate in advance of Wednesday evening's game against the Red Red Wings, Miller (lower body) is line to remain sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

With the hard-shooting blueliner still day-to-day and Kevan Miller also ailing, John-Michael Liles and Joe Morrow are slated to remain part of the Bruins' blue line corps Wednesday night.

Miller (lower body) did not take part in pregame warm-ups, effectively ruling him out against the Islanders on Monday, Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller will be sidelined for his third consecutive outing with this ailment. When he has been healthy, the blueliner has still periodically been scratched from the game-day roster. With just six points in 34 appearances, the 24-year-old offers limited fantasy value and owners may want to consider other defensive options for their lineups.

Miller (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

The defenseman only has six points in 34 games, so he hasn't had the best year, even without injuries. His next opportunity to return will be Monday against the Islanders.

Miller (lower body) is not in line to play Thursday against the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

With Miller day-to-day, per coach Claude Julien, the hard-shooting blueliner is set to miss Thursday's contest, which paves the way for John-Michael Liles to re-enter the Bruins' lineup.

Miller (lower body) was unable to skate Wednesday and is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Predators, Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The specifics of Miller's injury have yet to be released, but after being evaluated by doctors Tuesday night, it appears they've deemed him doubtful heading into Thursday's contest with the Predators. Miller is now fully expected to remain sidelined until at least Saturday's game against the Flyers and with Adam McQuaid (upper body) also dealing with an injury, the Bruins could be shorthanded on defense for the time being.
