Miller notched two assists, including one on the power play, and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
Miller made an impact in the second period, setting up goals by Elias Pettersson and Pius Suter as the Canucks erased an early deficit. This was Miller's first multi-point effort since Oct. 28. The 31-year-old center is up to five goals, eight assists, four power-play points, 30 shots on net, 26 hits and a plus-2 rating through 14 outings this season. He plays key minutes in all situations and should continue to maintain a high level on offense.

Canucks' J.T. Miller: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Miller scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings.
The goal was Miller's first since Oct. 26 -- he had three assists over the four games in between tallies. The 31-year-old center is up to five goals, 11 points, 25 shots on net, 21 hits, nine PIM and a plus-4 rating over 12 appearances. He remains one of the Canucks' most important forwards in all situations, and that's even more clear with Elias Pettersson off to a rough start in 2024-25. Miller should be active in fantasy lineups virtually every time the Canucks play.

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.
Miller had been held off the scoresheet in each of the previous two games before helping out on a Brock Boeser tally in the first period. In 2023-24, Miller was held off the scoresheet in consecutive contests just twice, and he's had that happen twice in the first month of 2024-25. The 31-year-old has still put up good scoring with four goals, six helpers and three power-play points while adding 22 shots on net, 19 hits, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances. While it's not a slow start, Miller is behind the pace he'd need to return to the 100-point mark for a second straight year.

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.
Miller usually takes the faceoffs on his line, but he participated in just two draws in Saturday's contest. He saw 17:01 of ice time in a 3-0 win over the Flyers, though he briefly exited the game in the first period. Miller is an integral part of every aspect of the Canucks' scheme, so any potential absence is concerning for the team and his fantasy managers, but this may be something he could play through.
