Miller allowed six goals on 37 shots in the Ducks loss in Calgary last Friday. Miller has lost four consecutive starts while allowing a combined 18 goals on 116 shots (.845 SV%). However, he offers some decent spot-start value for desperate owners as the Flames are expected to sit at least seven player from their regular lineup.
There is no word on the severity of Miller’s injury, but this is a huge blow to a Ducks team that is fighting to stay in the playoff conversation. Miller has been excellent since returning from injury, going 2-1-0 with a 1.35 GAA, .952 SV% and one shutout. Kevin Boyle will start in Vancouver with Miller out.
Miller stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Ducks shutout win in Montreal on Tuesday. Miller has been rock-solid since returning from an injury, winnings two in a row while stopping 54 of 56 shots (.964 SV%). In his first start against the Flames, Miller stopped 37 of 39 shots in a 3-2 win (Nov.7).

Miller, who has been out since December 9th, will serve as Kevin Boyle’s backup on Wednesday. Boyle will be making his NHL debut because John Gibson and Chad Johnson are both injured.
Miller was hurt against the Devils on Sunday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Ducks are expecting Miller to miss six weeks, so they’ve claimed Chad Johnson off of waivers from the Blues. This injury shouldn’t affect the Ducks too much, John Gibson has started 78 percent of their games so far.
Miller allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Ducks loss to the Flyers on October 30th. Miller has started three games this season, allowing just eight goals on 111 shots (.928 SV%). Tonight he has a tough task with the Flames in town. The Ducks are on the tail-end of a back-to-back and Calgary is tied for sixth in goal-scoring (3.47 GF/PG).
