Miller has been sidelined since October 18th, but will take warmups tonight and could get back into the lineup. The Bruins will have to make a roster move if Miller is ready to go.
Kevan Miller News
Miller was expected to resume skating today and he did after the team left the ice. He remains without a timetable for his return, but returning to the ice is a good sign that he is nearing a return.
Miller has been sidelined with a dislocated shoulder since October 18th, but is progressing well according to Claude Julien. The Bruins blueline is without Torey Krug and Zdeno Chara tonight, so getting Miller back on the ice is important for the B's.
Miller suffered the dislocated shoulder in a fight with Nicolas Deslauriers of the Sabres on Saturday. Miller is not an offensive threat so this won't hurt any fantasy lineups. Matt Bartowski will slide into the lineup and fill the hole left by Miller's injury.
Miller left Saturday's game after a fight and did not return. His absence this morning suggests he may not be available for Tuesday's game vs. San Jose. Matt Bartowski will play with Adam McQuiad if Miller can't play.
Miller will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. It is likely that Miller is dealing with a small injury, but with the playoffs looming, the Bruins are resting him while they can.
Miller could be in the lineup Thursday with Adam McQuaid and Torey Krug not skating this morning. He appeared in three games with the Bruins in November, he did not record a point.
With Dennis Seidenberg (lower-body) not skating this morning, it appears as if Miller will be in the lineup tonight after being an emergency call-up from Providence (AHL) on Wednesday. Miller is in his fourth season with the Providence Bruins, he has one goal and two assists in 12 games.
Dennis Seidenberg was hurt last night so Miller gets the call-up in case he can not play tomorrow vs. St. Louis. Miller has spent the last three season with Providence. He has never played at the NHL level but has one goal and two assists in 12 games in the AHL this season.
Miller had two goals and 14 assists in 64 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) last season.
Miller has two assists through his first five games with the P-Bruins. He likely stays down in the minors, serving as depth for the big club.
