Miller was placed on the COVID-19 list and will not play Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Miller won't suit up Sunday and likely won't be back in time for Monday's tilt with Chicago. The 29-year-old is averaging 15:02 of ice time with two assists in four games since returning from a 23-game absence. He could return as early as Wednesday against Winnipeg, but he'll need to clear protocols first.

Miller provided an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has played in two of the Sabres' three games since he returned from an undisclosed injury, though he's been limited to third-pairing minutes. The 29-year-old has 14 points, 45 shots on net, 44 hits, 39 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-1 rating in 34 contests. While he's been decent on offense, he'll likely have to compete with Mark Pysyk and Mattias Samuelsson for playing time going forward.

Miller (not injury related) is in Sunday's lineup against the Canucks, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller wasn't deemed fit to play in back-to-back games, so he sat during Buffalo's contest against the Flames on Friday. He'll be back in a bottom-pair role Sunday.

Miller (not injury related) will not play Friday against Calgary, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller tallied an assist in 17:27 of ice time Thursday after missing the previous 23 games. Head coach Don Granto said he skated Friday morning and "felt good" but the team isn't comfortable playing him in back-to-back days right now. He should be good to go Sunday in Vancouver.

Miller (undisclosed) is expected back in the lineup during the Sabres' upcoming three-game road trip, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been on the shelf since Jan. 15 versus Detroit due to his undisclosed injury, a stretch of 23 games on injured reserve. With 12 points in 32 games to start the year, the 29-year-old blueliner was likely going to cruise to the 20-point mark, a threshold he has yet to reach in three seasons with Buffalo.

Miller (undisclosed) might be available for Thursday's matchup with Vegas after coach Don Granato told reporters Wednesday, "There's a lot of guys really close, as close as tomorrow's lineup. If not tomorrow, then pretty darn close," John Vogl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Miller does play Thursday, it would be his first time on the ice since Jan. 15 against the Red Wings, a stretch of 21 games on the shelf. Prior to his absence, the 29-year-old blueliner has generated 12 points in his previous 32 outings and should still have enough time to get over the 20-point threshold for the third time in his NHL career.

Miller (undisclosed) skated with the Sabres at practice Wednesday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been out since Jan. 17 due to an undisclosed injury which required surgery. The 29-year-old defenseman figures to need multiple practice sessions to get back up to speed. Considering the Sabres' poor position in the standings, Miller may be a trade target for teams looking to upgrade their defense if he can get healthy before the March 21 deadline.

Miller has undergone surgery to address an undisclosed injury and will be sidelined for at least six weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Miller will be sidelined until early March at a minimum. Henri Jokiharju will likely be tasked with taking on a larger role until Miller, who's picked up 12 points through 32 games this season, is ready to return.
