Miller stopped all 28 shots that he faced in a 2-0 win over the Oilers on Friday. Miller improved to 3-0-0 with a 1.95 GAA and .927 SV% on the season, but he has only faced the Oilers (x2) and the Flames so far. He will get a much stiffer test tonight in Dallas.

Miller had a nice Canucks debut, stopping 23 of 25 shots in the 4-2 win over the Flames. With the jitters of game 1 behind him, look for another strong outing by Miller as he faces an Oilers team who lost to the Flames a night after the Canucks beat Calgary.
This summer's top-2 goaltending free agents will face each other in their respective debuts as Miller takes on Jonas Hiller. Miller had a weird season in 2013-14. He was traded to the Blues after 10 and a half years in Buffalo. Things didn't go as expected in St. Louis and that led to Miller signing with the Canucks this offseason. It is difficult to adjust to a new team mid-season, so with a full camp with Vancouver under his belt, expect Miller to get back to a 2.50 GAA and .915 SV%.
Miller, 33, was 25-30-4 with a 2.64 GAA and .918 SV% between the Buffalo Sabres and St. Louis Blues in 2013-14. The Canucks had the look of a team in a rebuilding mode, but with the signing of Miller it looks like they are going to try and push for the playoffs. Miller will undoubtedly be the Canucks starter, but Eddie Lack proved to be a more than capable NHL goalie last season.
The Blues re-signed Brian Elliott to a three-year deal this morning and will roll with Elliott and Jake Allen in 2014-15.

Miller as a rental did not work for the Blues, but he is expected to garner a lot of attention this summer.

Miller stopped all 31 shots that he faced in a 1-0 shootout win over Flyers on Tuesday. It was his 10th win and first shutout with the Blues.

Miller is 0-1-1 with a 3.44 GAA and .881 SV% vs. the Stars this season (1 with BUF).
Miller stopped 22 of 25 shots in Tuesday's win over the Maple Leafs. Miller has now given up 10 goals in his last three starts and strangely enough has a lower SV% with the Blues (.913) than he did with the Sabres (.923). However, that can largely be attributed to the volume of shots he faced in Buffalo. On Thursday, he takes on a Wild team who are 3-3-4 in their last 10 games.
Miller gave up three goals on 18 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Flyers on Saturday. All of a sudden Miller has lost two in a row while giving up seven goals on just 45 shots (.844 SV%). Tonight, he takes on a Maple Leafs in the midst of a major slump, he should make for a good start.
