COLIN MILLER NEWS

Provides power-play helper Miller notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Miller got a chance to fill a larger role Sunday with Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk out of the lineup for rest. Prior to Sunday, Miller had been scratched for the previous three games. The 32-year-old has seen some power-play time recently when Pionk was out due to a lower-body injury. Overall, Miller has 15 points (two on the power play), 68 shots on net, 84 hits, 50 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 60 appearances this season. He may not be an every-game player in the postseason.

Back at practice Miller (illness) was on the ice at Thursday's game-day skate and projects to be a healthy scratch versus the Stars, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact With Neal Pionk (lower body) looking ready to return to action, Miller once again finds himself as the odd man out on the blue line. Deadline acquisition Luke Schenn seems to have positioned himself ahead of Miller on the depth chart, which could force Miller to play on his offside if he wants to get back into the lineup.

Not available Monday Miller (illness) will not suit up Monday against St. Louis, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Impact Haydn Fleury will draw into the lineup in Miller's stead versus the Blues. The 32-year-old Miller will look to return to game action Thursday in a heavyweight matchup against the Stars.

Game-time decision against Blues Miller is battling an illness and will be a game-time call versus St. Louis on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Miller missed the morning skate due to his illness and is questionable to be ready to face the Blues on Monday. If Miller isn't available, Haydn Fleury looks set to play for just the second time in Winnipeg's last eight contests. Given his lack of offensive upside, Miller's potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Strikes on power play in win Miller scored a power-play goal, added two PIM and doled out three hits in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Miller has picked up time on the second power-play unit while Neal Pionk (lower body) recovers from his injury. This was Miller's first power-play point of the season, though he's collected a total of three points across his last six contests while filling a larger role. He's still seeing bottom-four minutes most of the time, so he's not a strong fantasy option. The defenseman has four goals, 10 assists, 63 shots on net, 84 hits, 47 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 58 outings.

Scores in Sunday's loss Miller scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

Impact This was Miller's first goal since Oct. 30 versus the Red Wings. He racked up six assists over 42 outings between goals, and he continues to fill a part-time role on the third pairing. He's in the lineup more often than not, but if his play slips, Haydn Fleury or Ville Heinola could get a look. Miller has 12 points, 58 shots on net, 75 hits, 42 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 53 appearances this season.

Notches helper Miller recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-1 win over the Devils.

Impact Miller's playing time could be at risk after the Jets acquired fellow right-shot defenseman Luke Schenn at the trade deadline. The 32-year-old Miller has largely played a third-pairing role this season, earning 11 points over 47 appearances, including two assists over his last seven games. Miller and Schenn are different players in style -- Miller has a little more scoring upside, while Schenn is an ultra-physical player, so who gets the last spot in the lineup in any given game may depend on the opposing team's playing style.

Pockets helper Saturday Miller provided an assist, two hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.

Impact Miller ended a five-game point drought with the helper. The 32-year-old defenseman has seen sporadic playing time since the start of December, though he was able to play Saturday with Josh Morrissey (illness) out of action. Miller is up to 10 points, 43 shots on net, 57 hits, 32 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 41 appearances, surpassing his total of nine points across 46 outings from the 2023-24 regular season.

Snags assist in return Miller produced an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact Miller missed the previous five games due to a fractured larynx suffered versus the Red Wings on Jan. 4. The 32-year-old returned to a third-pairing role, but his spot in the lineup is likely up for grabs. Ville Heinola was the scratch on defense Saturday, and Haydn Fleury (lower body) will also be in the mix for playing time once he's activated from injured reserve. Miller has nine points, 40 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 35 appearances this season, but he may be heading toward a part-time role once the Jets are at full strength.

Impact Miller missed five games after taking a puck to his neck versus Detroit on Jan. 4. The defenseman has two goals and six assists in 34 contests this season. Ville Heinola is expected to come out of the lineup as a healthy scratch with the return of Miller.

Impact Miller sustained a fracture in his larynx in early January that was expected to sideline him for at least two weeks, and he could return to the ice exactly two weeks after suffering the injury. The 32-year-old Miller has made 34 appearances for the Jets this year, recording two goals, six assists, 22 PIM and a plus-8 rating while averaging 13:58 of ice time.

Impact Miller sustained the injury in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Detroit after getting struck in the throat by the puck.

Impact Miller will be evaluated further Sunday. If he can't play, Dylan Coghlan is likely to enter the lineup Tuesday versus the Predators. Miller has just one assist over his last 11 games while filling a third-pairing role.

Snags helper in win Miller posted an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Miller was listed on the second pairing Saturday, but he logged just 13:36 of ice time. The Jets have a second-pairing problem, as Dylan Samberg (foot) and Haydn Fleury (lower body) are both out, leaving some combination of Miller, Logan Stanley and Ville Heinola to pick up the slack. Miller has done alright with eight points, 38 shots on net, 38 hits, 24 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 30 appearances this season. His helper Saturday was just his third in 20 games since the start of November.

Handling part-time duties Miller suited up for the fourth time in the last 10 games Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Sharks, logging two PIM in 13:49 of ice time.

Impact Miller was a fixture on the third pairing early in the year, but the Jets started to fade in late November. That prompted head coach Scott Arniel to give some playing time to Dylan Coghlan and Ville Heinola, which has in turn led to Miller spending some games as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Miller has seven points, 34 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 27 appearances, but he hasn't earned a point since Nov. 14.
