He has one helper, a plus-2 rating, six shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots.

Scores in Friday's win Muller scored a goal on three shots, levied three hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Flames.

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. Miller appears to have done enough to fend off fellow right-shot blueliner Dylan Coghlan, and the former's steady presence in all zones should help cover for the early absences of Logan Stanley (knee) and Ville Heinola (ankle). 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 • NHL.COM

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

Impact Miller was sent from New Jersey to Winnipeg last season and will stick around on a two-year contract. The veteran blueliner was often a healthy scratch after the trade and he dressed in just five regular-season games with the Jets. 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.

Miller had nine points, 69 shots on net, 91 hits and a plus-8 rating over 46 regular-season outings. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he should be able to find an NHL deal as a possible third-pairing option, though his playing style is rarely friendly to fantasy managers.

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.
