Miller contributed a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
He also received 18:01 of ice time in this one, which was over two minutes higher than his season average (15:59). The 23-year-old rookie has posted a very respectable 14 points in 30 games thus far this year, and although he doesn't shoot the puck much (44 SOG), his 28 PIM have helped make up for it.

Miller was recalled by the Bruins on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Miller wasn't expected to stay in the minors for long, but didn't suit up for a single game with AHL Providence during his brief stint with the club, making the purpose of his demotion unclear. The 23-year-old blueliner was a healthy scratch for two-consecutive games prior to his AHL assignment, leaving his status for Tuesday's matchup with Washington hazy at this juncture.

The Bruins have sent Miller to AHL Providence, NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller, who was a healthy scratch for the Bruins' last two games, had been with the big club all season, notching 12 points in 28 games. We'd expect Miller to be back at the NHL level before long, but a stint at the AHL level, for any length of time, will get the speedy, hard-shooting blueliner -- who carried a minus-1 rating in each of his last two contests -- some needed ice time, as well a chance pick up his all-around game in advance of a recall.

EDGE Analysis
Miller, who has been scratched for Boston's last three contests with an undisclosed ailment, is expected to skate alongside Dennis Seidenberg on the Bruin's second pairing in Saturday's game. The rookie blueliner has notched 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 21 games this season.

Miller (undisclosed) is a candidate to re-join the Bruins' lineup Saturday against the Panthers, CSN New England reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been scratched for the B's last three games, but it looks like he may draw back into the lineup Saturday, at the expense of Zach Trotman. Without identifying exactly what has been ailing Miller, Bruins President Cam Neely relayed Thursday that "Colin got dinged up a couple of games ago." Moreover, Miller was a minus-1 in each of his last three games. That said, his shot and wheels are assets to the Bruins' attack and Miller is among the leading scorers among NHL rookie blueliners, with two goals and 10 points in 21 games to date.

Miller (undisclosed) and Dennis Seidenberg worked as the Bruins' fourth defensive pair during Wednesday morning's skate.
EDGE Analysis
Based on that, it looks like Miller, who has sat out the Bruins' last two games, will probably remain out of the team's lineup Wednesday against Montreal. Per WEEI.com, Miller acknowledged in advance of the contest that he was "a little banged up or whatever the last couple of days," but noted that he's "definitely ready to go now." It remains to be seen, however, when the Bruins will sign off on such a notion.

Per coach Claude Julien, Miller and fellow blueliner Dennis Seidenberg were scratched Saturday against the Canucks as a result of the Bruins giving the duo "maintenance days," the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains to be seen if either Miller or Seidenberg are dealing with any sort of ailments that might linger, but with fellow defender Adam McQuaid now banged up, it looks like the Bruins will probably need to tweak their blue line pairs once again for Monday night's game against the Predators.

Miller recorded a goal and an assist in 18:54 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie defenseman has displayed some serious offensive aptitude thus far, as his two goals and seven assists through 18 games put him on a 41-point pace when extrapolated to a full season. Miller was also plus-3 in this game, and has quietly turned into quite the fantasy asset with a plus-8 rating on the season to go along with his nine points.
