Miller logged two assists in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Miller added two shots, four hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in 15:24 of ice time. The right-shot defenseman now has points in consecutive games after being held off the scoresheet for three contests to start the season. Miller is seeing bottom-pairing minutes while being deployed on the penalty kill.

Miller provided an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Miller set up a Josh Morrissey tally in the first period. While he's been a regular on the third pairing, Miller hasn't chipped in much production of any kind this season. He has one helper, a plus-2 rating, six shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots. The 31-year-old defenseman may eventually have to share his spot in the lineup with Dylan Coghlan, who has yet to make his season debut, or Logan Stanley (knee), who is nearing his anticipated return date after undergoing surgery to address a meniscus issue.

Muller scored a goal on three shots, levied three hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Miller strengthened his case to begin the year on the third pairing with a second-period goal Friday. He has five points over four preseason outings. Miller appears to have done enough to fend off fellow right-shot blueliner Dylan Coghlan, and the former's steady presence in all zones should help cover for the early absences of Logan Stanley (knee) and Ville Heinola (ankle). That said, Miller typically won't produce enough offense to entice most fantasy managers.

Miller signed a two-year, $3 million deal with the Jets on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was sent from New Jersey to Winnipeg last season and will stick around on a two-year contract. The veteran blueliner was often a healthy scratch after the trade and he dressed in just five regular-season games with the Jets. Winnipeg's blue line is a bit thinner after losing Brenden Dillon, but Miller likely won't see more than a bottom-pair role. Miller has reached the 20-point mark only once in the last five years.

Miller recorded an assist, three shots on goal and five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Avalanche in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Miller played sparingly after the Jets acquired him from the Devils, though he managed two assists and 17 hits in six appearances for Winnipeg. Miller had nine points, 69 shots on net, 91 hits and a plus-8 rating over 46 regular-season outings. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he should be able to find an NHL deal as a possible third-pairing option, though his playing style is rarely friendly to fantasy managers.

Miller was acquired by Winnipeg from New Jersey in exchange for a 2024 sixth-round selection Friday, per Darren Dreger of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has four goals, eight points, 79 hits and 33 blocks in 41 outings in 2023-24. He'll probably serve primarily on the third pairing with Winnipeg, though Miller might also spend some time as a healthy scratch.

Miller scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Miller snapped an eight-game point drought with his third-period tally. His goal was the first of four over 5:16 for the Devils as they ran away with the lead. The 31-year-old functioned as the seventh defenseman in the lineup Tuesday and has rarely seen more than a third-pairing role. He's at seven points, 59 shots on net, 71 hits, 31 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 38 appearances this season.

Miller was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was out of the lineup for the first time since Jan. 22, as the Devils went with Luke Hughes, John Marino, Jonas Siegenthaler, Simon Nemec, Brendan Smith and Kevin Bahl on defense. The personnel change didn't yield any improvement, as New Jersey continues to be held back by a lackluster power play, which ranks last in the league since the calendar flipped to 2024 and went 0-for-5 in Thursday's loss. Miller's possible return to the lineup won't help on the man advantage, as he has just six points in 35 appearances this season, none of which have come on the power play.

Miller (illness) is expected to play Thursday versus the Hurricanes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller missed Monday's game versus Vegas with the illness, but that appears to be the extent of his absence. The Devils brought up Daniil Misyul from AHL Utica and claimed Nick DeSimone off waivers from Calgary on Thursday, so Miller's spot in the lineup shouldn't be considered comfortable.

Miller (illness) won't be available to play Monday against Vegas, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has contributed two goals, five points, 41 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 36 hits across 25 outings this season. He will be replaced in the lineup Monday by Santeri Hatakka, who will make his New Jersey debut.
