Set to play Wednesday Miller (undisclosed) is slated to rejoin the lineup against the Rangers on Wednesday.

Impact Miller missed Tuesday's practice after getting hurt versus the Sabres on Sunday but appears to be no worse for wear. The blueliner hasn't found the back of the net since the season opener against the Devils on Oct. 9, a stretch of 15 outings without a goal. Still, Miller racked up eight helpers over the stretch and should be capable of offering decent mid-range fantasy value.

Absent from practice Miller (undisclosed) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice after getting banged up in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Buffalo, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact It's unclear if Miller will be available to play against the Rangers on Wednesday, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour is hopeful that the 25-year-old defender will be in the lineup. Miller has accounted for two goals, 10 points, 34 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 23 hits across 16 appearances this season.

Contributes two assists in win Miller notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Miller snapped a five-game slump with the effort, which saw him help out on second-period tallies by Jordan Staal and Seth Jarvis. The 25-year-old Miller should be able to see a slightly lighter workload following the return of Jalen Chatfield (concussion). Miller has been a decent all-around option in fantasy when healthy, racking up two goals, eight assists, 33 shots on net, 20 hits, 15 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 15 outings this season.

Pockets pair of assists Miller recorded two assists, four shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Miller has four helpers over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He's playing on the top pairing again and should continue to do so as long as Jaccob Slavin (lower body), Jalen Chatfield (upper body) and Shayne Gostisbehere (abdomen) are all out. Miller has earned eight points (three on the power play), 22 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM, six hits and a plus-2 rating over nine appearances this season.

Nabs helper in return Miller posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Any hopes of easing Miller back in after a six-game absence due to a lower-body injury were dashed when Jalen Chatfield (upper body) exited the game after a high hit. The 25-year-old Miller logged 23:13 of ice time and appears no worse for wear, so he should be ready to resume his usual top-four duties as the Hurricanes continue to navigate a brutal stretch of injuries. Miller has supplied five points, 16 shots on net, nine blocked shots, six hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances.

Activated from injured reserve Miller (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Miller missed six games with the injury. The former Ranger had two goals, two assists and was averaging 23:32 of ice time before his injury. He should line up on the third unit, alongside Jalen Chatfield and see time on the second power play.

Hopeful for Thursday return Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Wednesday that he hopes Miller (lower body) will be able to return for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site...

Impact Miller has missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to action. While he'll be in the mix to return for Thursday's matchup, Brind'Amour indicated that the team will wait to see how Miller feels in the morning before determining his status. Miller was a strong contributor prior to his absence, logging two goals, two assists, eight blocked shots, six hits and eight PIM while averaging 23:32 of ice time over his first six appearances of the season.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured reserve Miller (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Oct. 20.

Impact Miller has been sidelined for over a week due to his lower-body injury, and his move to injured reserve is procedural to make room on the roster for Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body), who was activated from IR in a corresponding move. Miller skated during Friday's practice session, but he'll likely need to skate with the full team before he's in the mix to return to game action.

Out again Thursday Miller (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Islanders, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Miller will be out of the lineup for a fourth straight game but is still considered day-to-day. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Bruins. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up for that contest, but the fact that he hasn't been placed on injured reserve amid the Hurricanes' run of injuries bodes well for a return to action fairly soon.

Not expected to play Miller (lower body) isn't expected to play against Vegas on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Miller will miss his third straight game, but he's close to returning to the lineup despite sitting out Monday's practice. However, it's unclear if he will be an option for Thursday's game against the Islanders. Miller has supplied two goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, eight blocked shots and six hits across six appearances this season.

Close to day-to-day Miller (lower body) is considered closer to day-to-day than long term, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Saturday.

Impact Miller is expected to miss his second straight game when Carolina faces Dallas on Saturday, but this update is still positive. He was averaging 23:32 of ice time across six appearances this year before being hurt, so Carolina needs more than one blueliner to step up in order to fill that void. Joel Nystrom drew into the lineup for Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over Colorado due to Miller's absence, and the 23-year-old Nystrom logged 16:02 of ice time in that game.

Late scratch Thursday Miller (undisclosed) was a late scratch for Thursday's game in Colorado, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Miller took part in Carolina's pregame warmups before he was ruled out for the game. He has two goals and four points in six appearances with the Hurricanes in 2025-26. It wasn't immediately clear why he wasn't in the lineup. Joel Nystrom, who was recalled from AHL Chicago on Thursday, will make his NHL debut if he arrives in time to face the Avalanche.

Earns pair of assists Miller registered two helpers, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact Miller has a pair of multi-point efforts over his five games this season. He's at two goals, two helpers, 12 shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating. The 25-year-old has filled a top-four role at even strength while seeing power-play time, and his usage in the latter situation could increase if Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) misses time. Miller's advantageous usage could eventually fade as Alexander Nikishin adjusts to the pace of NHL play, but for now, the former is a decent depth add in fantasy for his well-rounded production.

Scores twice in debut with new club Miller scored two goals, including one on the power play, on four shots and went plus-1 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.

Impact Miller is off to a hot start with his new team, as he gave Carolina the lead twice in this high-scoring affair. The left-shot blueliner also notched two hits, one block and two PIM in 19:10 of ice time. With a pair of goals in his Hurricanes debut, Miller seems poised to surpass his career high of nine markers, which he set in 2022-23 with the Rangers. The 25-year-old could be in store for a breakout campaign -- he's skating in the top four while working with the No. 2 power-play unit on one of the league's best teams.

Good for Thursday Miller (upper body) is available for Carolina's season opener against New Jersey on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Miller had seven goals, 27 points, 107 hits and 110 blocks in 74 outings with the Rangers in 2024-25. He's likely to open the season in a top-four role and receive time on the second power-play unit.

Sheds non-contact jersey Miller (upper body) sported a regular jersey during Monday's practice, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Miller was on the ice with Carolina's non-game group ahead of Monday's preseason matchup against Florida. It wouldn't be surprising if he sat out Saturday's exhibition finale against Nashville, but no confirmation on that decision has come yet. Still, the 25-year-old defender is progressing before the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

Sporting non-contact sweater Miller (upper body) took the ice in a non-contact jersey at training camp Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact It seems Miller hasn't fully recovered from offseason surgery to address an upper-body issue. There hasn't been any indication from the team that this problem will linger into the regular season, but it's certainly something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on. Last season, the 25-year-old Minnesota native failed to get over the 30-point threshold but should be capable of achieving that mark if he avoids any lengthy stints on the sideline.
