Carolina Hurricanes battling early injury wave that hit during 6-game road trip out West

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.

Impact The Rangers' remodeling continues, with Miller out the door to a division rival after the sign-and-trade deal. Miller has emerged as a top-four option early in his career, but the Hurricanes' intensity in their own zone should still provide him a challenge while playing to his strengths as a physical force. The 25-year-old is recovering from an upper-body surgery and may miss part of training camp, but he's poised to be a key part of the Hurricanes' lineup for years to come.

Goes under the knife Miller reportedly had surgery to repair an upper-body injury but will be ready for the start of the 2025-26 campaign, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports Friday.

Impact As a restricted free agent, Miller will need a new contract this year before he can return to the lineup -- in addition to recovering from his upper-body injury. Based on the report, it sounds like Miller may not be 100 percent during training camp but should be available for Opening Night of the 2025-26 campaign.

Earns two assists Monday Miller recorded two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

Impact Miller remains hot to close out the campaign -- he has two goals and six assists over his last nine outings. That's helped him get his offense back on track, with a total of 26 points over 73 contests this season. He's added 109 shots on net, 106 hits, 108 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating to offer some all-around appeal as usual in fantasy.

Expected to play Thursday Miller (illness) is slated to play Thursday versus the Rangers, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.

Impact Miller has missed two games due to the illness. He has seven goals, 23 points, 103 hits and 101 blocks in 70 outings in 2024-25. Miller is projected to skate alongside Will Borgen, while Zac Jones will probably be a healthy scratch.

Out after all Miller (illness) is expected to be out of the lineup Wednesday versus the Flyers despite participating in warmups, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Impact Miller's status came down to a true game-time decision, and he'll be out of the lineup. He took rushes in his normal top-four spot, while Zac Jones will play in place of Miller.

Ready to rock Miller (illness) will be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Flyers, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Miller was considered a game-time decision after missing Monday's contest versus the Lightning. The 25-year-old defenseman has 23 points, 106 shots on net, 103 hits, 101 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 70 appearances. He'll play on a pairing with Will Borgen in Wednesday's game.

APRIL 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision versus Flyers Miller (illness) will be a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Impact Miller participated in the team's morning skate but hasn't been confirmed back into the lineup Wednesday. Prior to getting sick, the 25-year-old blueliner was rolling offensively with five points in his last six contests in addition to recording 13 hits and eight blocks. If Miller is given the all-clear, he will likely relegate Zac Jones back to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch.

APRIL 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Miller (illness) will not be available Monday against the Lightning.

Impact Zac Jones will return to the lineup Monday and skate on the second pairing alongside Will Borgen. Miller has provided seven goals and 23 points over 70 appearances this season. His next chance to return to the lineup will be against the Flyers on Wednesday.
