Rotowire
Miller logged two assists in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Canucks' J.T. Miller: Set to return Thursday
Rotowire
Miller (personal) will return to the Canucks' lineup Thursday versus Florida, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Miller didn't participate in Vancouver's previous 10 games. He has six goals and 16 points in 17 outings in 2024-25. Now that Miller is back, he should serve in a top-six capacity and on the first power-play unit. Pius Suter might see a reduction in his ice time as a result.

Canucks' J.T. Miller: Garners helper in win
Rotowire
Miller registered a power-play assist and won 18 of 26 faceoffs in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

Canucks' J.T. Miller: Extends point streak Monday
Rotowire
Miller delivered two assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Miller has cracked the scoresheet in three straight games and has delivered multi-point efforts in two of those appearances, so the 31-year-old forward is trending in the right direction after a subpar start to the campaign. Despite playing on the first line in both even strength and the power play, Miller opened the campaign with just three points across his first five games. This recent surge suggests the slow start is a thing of the past.

Canucks' J.T. Miller: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Miller is "dealing with some stuff," per head coach Rick Tocchet, who is hopeful the center will be able to play Tuesday versus the Blackhawks, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
