Date News Advice
April 3, 2017 Miller is dealing with the flu and will not play in Monday's game against Ottawa. The Red Wings have recalled forward Evgeny Svechnikov from the AHL to fill in. Miller primarily serves as a penalty killer and holds little fantasy value, having produced just five goals and two assists in 53 games.
Jan. 31, 2017 Miller was assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League. Miller, 32, scored five goals and tallied six assists in 35 games with the Red Wings this season. The former sixth-round pick has 56 goals and 50 assists since joining Detroit in the 2009-10 season.
June 27, 2016 The Red Wings re-signed Miller to a one-year contract Monday. After appearing in all 82 regular-season games for the Red Wings in 2013-14 and 2014-15 and holding the team's ironman streak at 190 games, Miller was limited to just 28 games this past season due to a broken jaw and a knee injury.
Jan. 11, 2016 Miller (knee surgery) is likely to miss the remainder of the season. Miller underwent ACL surgery on Jan. 15, five days after he was injured against Anaheim. The penalty-killing specialist is expected to miss between 4 to 6 months.
Dec. 4, 2015 Miller returned in Thursday's 2-1 win over San Jose after missing 14 games. The Detroit forward hadn't played since Dec. 3 because of a broken jaw.
April 1, 2015 Miller took a skate to the face in Tuesday's loss to Ottawa and required from 50-60 stitches. Luckily, the skate narrowly missed his right eye. He was back at practice Wednesday because he's a hockey player, and he could play Thursday against Boston.
March 1, 2015 Miller had a goal with an assist Saturday. These are his first points in 13 games.
Dec. 2, 2013 Miller had two goals on Sunday in Ottawa. He has three of his four goals in the last three games.
June 14, 2013 Miller says he has agreed to a three-year, $4.05 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings. Miller confirmed the deal was done in a Friday interview with The Associated Press. The agreement keeps the defensive-minded, penalty-killing forward off the market as a free agent next month. Miller had four goals, including two game-winners, and eight points in 44 games during the lockout-shortened season. He had a game-winning goal and an assist in six playoff games after coming back from a broken right hand.
Feb. 8, 2013 Miller had two assists in a 5-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night. Miller recorded his first points of the season.
Feb. 20, 2012 Miller had a goal and an assist in Sunday's win over San Jose. Miller didn't have a point in his previous three games.
Dec. 20, 2011 Miller scored with 4:15 remaining in the third period and the Detroit Red Wings beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 Monday night. Miller's goal was his fourth in five games. He has six goals in 30 games this season along with four assists.
Dec. 18, 2011 Miller scored twice in the Detroit Red Wings' 8-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. The third-line winger had one goal in his previous 14 games. He has five goals and four assists this season. Miller had scored two goals in one other game, a 7-4 victory Feb. 28.
July 1, 2011 The Red Wings signed Miller to a two-year, $1.65 million contract Friday. Miller told The Associated Press he agreed to his deal just before a noon deadline when he would have become a free agent. Miller had 10 goals and eight assists in 67 games last season.

2017-01-24 analysis It's been quite the whirlwind for Miller. In this week alone, he's been waived -- only to clear -- assigned to the minors, and now heading back up to the parent club for the Red Wings. Injuries to Steve Ott (shoulder) Dylan Larkin (upper body) necessitated his full-circle movement around the organization. Needless to say, fantasy owners shouldn't concern themselves with this messy situation.

2017-01-23 analysis Miller has officially cleared waivers, but the placement of Dylan Larkin (upper body) on injured reserve will reportedly result in him being recalled yet again. That move isn't official yet, but it's quite possible Miller will draw back into the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Bruins.
2017-01-23 update Miller was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.
2017-01-22 analysis Miller's ice time has trended downward of late, culminating in him being a healthy scratch Friday against the Sabres. With Niklas Kronwall (groin) back in the lineup Sunday, the team will open up a roster spot by waiving Miller. Assuming he passes through waivers unclaimed, the winger will likely be sent to AHL Grand Rapids.

2017-01-08 analysis This was Miller's first helper on the season, which serves as a reminder that his role as a fourth-line winger and penalty-killing specialist is not conducive to garnering fantasy value. On a positive note, though, he does have a terrific shooting percentage (17.4) as a skater who's lit the lamp four times on only 23 shots.

2016-10-20 analysis Miller displayed keen awareness on the play, moving toward the crease for the score after teammate Luke Glendening trapped goalie Henrik Lundqvist behind his cage. Points may be few and far between for Miller this season -- he has a defense-first mentality -- but it's worth noting that his ice time has climbed for three straight games.
