Miller was called up yesterday and will make his NHL debut tonight. Miller who was the 15th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft has 8 G and 12 A in 37 games in the AHL this season.
Quick was yanked after only 6 minutes in his last outing vs. the Ducks. He gave up 2 goals on 3 shots. However when Jonathan Bernier struggled as well giving up 4 goals on 21 shots. Quick is the unquestioned #1 goalie in LA and will get almost every start. He is a shocking 2-2-2 with a 2.74 GAA and .897 SV%, but is still a must-start, especially vs. the Blue Jackets.
Quick only had 13 saves on 14 shots in his last outing against the Predators, and took the loss in overtime. Quick has actually played much better than his numbers indicate (2-2-2, 2.43 GAA, .907 SV%) and should start to pile up the wins. Quick was 5-1-0 against the Ducks last year, he is a must start regardless but that makes you feel even more comfortable
