Miller announced his retirement Wednesday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller dealt with injuries across the last three seasons, and he missed the final few weeks of the 2020-21 campaign due to an unspecified issue. The 33-year-old played seven seasons for Boston and totaled 13 goals and 58 assists while racking up 776 hits.

Miller (undisclosed) told reporters he "most likely" would have played in Game 7, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller has struggled with injuries the last three seasons, appearing in just 67 games over that stretch, including missing the entire 2019-20 campaign. As such, it shouldn't come as a shock to hear the veteran blueliner leaving the door open to possibly retiring. An unrestricted free agent this summer, Miller may have to find somewhere else to lace up his skates next year if he does want to keep playing.

Miller (undisclosed) won't play in Wednesday's Game 6 against the Islanders, Joe McDonald of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller's continued absence comes as no surprise, as he's been sidelined since May 21. The Bruins will need to extend their season with a win Wednesday to give Miller a chance to return before next season. If Boston wins Game 6, Game 7 would be Friday.

Miller (undisclosed) won't play in Game 5 against the Islanders on Monday and still isn't practicing with the team, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shinzawa adds that Miller's availability for Game 6 on Wednesday is unknown, though it would be surprising to see Miller thrown right into a pivotal point in a physical series against the Islanders after being out since May 21. Miller's absence was precipitated by a high hit from Capitals defenseman Dmitry Orlov.

Miller (undisclosed) won't play in either Game 3 or Game 4 of the Bruins' playoff series versus the Islanders, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains to be seen if Miller has any chance to return to action as soon as Monday's home game, but he's definitely out for the Bruins' next two road contests. In his continued absence, Jeremy Lauzon and Connor Clifton will serve as the team's third defensive pairing.

Miller (undisclosed) won't be an option against the Islanders for Game 3 on Thursday, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller will be shelved for his fourth straight contest as he continues to work his way back from his undisclosed injury. In four games prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old blueliner notched one assist, four shots and seven hits while averaging 13:62 of ice time. Given his limited offensive upside, Miller shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value even once cleared to return.

Miller (undisclosed) has yet to resume skating.

EDGE Analysis

Per coach Bruce Cassidy, Miller is progressing and has been able ride a stationary bike, but the rugged blueliner won't be available for the start of the Bruins' second-round playoff series versus the Islanders, which opens Saturday night.

GM Don Sweeney noted Monday that Miller (undisclosed) is "doing OK, still early in recovery phase."

EDGE Analysis

Miller, who was forced out of this past Friday's game after taking a bit hit, will have some added recovery time while the Bruins await their second-round playoff opponent, but it remains to be seen if he'll be ready by the time the team's next series opens against a TBD opponent.

Miller (undisclosed) is at home recovering after spending Friday night in the hospital, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller spent the night in the hospital after exiting Friday's Game 4 versus Washington after taking a high hit from the Capitals' Dmitry Orlov. The veteran blueliner has already been ruled out of Sunday's Game 5, and at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return.

Miller (undisclosed) left Friday's Game 4 matchup against Washington and was transported to the hospital.

EDGE Analysis

Miller took a big hit from Dmitry Orlov during the second period and immediately left for the locker room. An update on his status could be available after the game. He'll be questionable for Game 5 on Sunday but his chances don't look promising as of now.
