Impact Miller strengthened his case to begin the year on the third pairing with a second-period goal Friday. He has five points over four preseason outings.

That said, Miller typically won't produce enough offense to entice most fantasy managers.

Jets sign defenceman Colin Miller to a two-year contract | Winnipeg Jets Miller was a fifth round pick by Los Angeles in 2012 NHL Draft.

JULY 2, 2024 • NHL.COM

Staying with Winnipeg Miller signed a two-year, $3 million deal with the Jets on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Winnipeg's blue line is a bit thinner after losing Brendan Dillon but Miller likely won't see more than a bottom-pair role. Miller has reached the 20-point mark only once in the last five years.

Scratched for Thursday's loss Miller was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Miller was out of the lineup for the first time since Jan. 22, as the Devils went with Luke Hughes, John Marino, Jonas Siegenthaler, Simon Nemec, Brendan Smith and Kevin Bahl on defense. The personnel change didn't yield any improvement, as New Jersey continues to be held back by a lackluster power play, which ranks last in the league since the calendar flipped to 2024 and went 0-for-5 in Thursday's loss. Miller's possible return to the lineup won't help on the man advantage, as he has just six points in 35 appearances this season, none of which have come on the power play.
