Colin Miller is expected to make his NHL debut on Saturday.

Miller, 22, came over in the Milan Lucic trade this summer and will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Canadiens. Miller has a tonne of offensive ability on the blueline—he had 19 goals and 33 assists (52 points) in 70 games with Manchester (AHL) last season.

The Bruins have acquired Colin Miller, Martin Jones and the 13th overall pick from the Kings for Milan Lucic.

Miller, 22, led all Manchester (AHL) defensemen and finished second among all AHL blue liners with 52 points (19G / 33A) in 70 games this season. He is under-sized at 6-foot, 173 lbs, but the 2012 5th round pick has plenty of offensive upside that will help ease the Bruins loss of Dougie Hamilton, who was traded to the Flames earlier in the day.

The Jets have recalled Connor Hellebuyck from St. John's (AHL).

Hellebuyck, 21, has gone 28-22-5 with a 2.58 GAA and .921 SV% in 58 games in his first season with St. John’s. He could make his NHL debut on Saturday to give Michael Hutchinson and Ondrej Pavelec the day off, or he might just be here as the third goalie heading into the playoffs.
