Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller (personal) will return to the lineup on Thursday against Florida. He has missed 10 games while dealing with a personal issue. Miller has averaged slightly below a point per game this season, recording six goals and 10 assists in 17 appearances. We should see him in a top-six role and on the first power-play unit. Miller's return will likely impact Pius Suter's usage. Before exiting the lineup, Miller had a productive run of five points in four games, but he might be a bit rusty initially after missing several weeks of action.
J.T. Miller Takes Indefinite Leave For Personal Reasons
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller is taking an indefinite leave for personal reasons, the team announced Tuesday. Miller exits the lineup as Vancouver's second-best scorer. He has totaled 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) in 17 outings. Elias Pettersson is set to step into the top-line center role on Tuesday versus the Rangers, while the team has recalled winger Arshdeep Bains from the AHL. Bains is averaging a point per game in the minors but has been limited to one goal in eight NHL appearances. Miller's absence also looks to benefit Dakota Joshua, who only recently made his season debut.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Chicago on Tuesday. According to Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet, Miller is "dealing with some stuff," and he was a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest, but the prolific American is set to remain in the lineup. Miller hasn't yet made much noise this season, logging two goals and one assist in five contests. However, he has been a point-per-game player for three consecutive campaigns, and it should only be a matter of time before Miller regains his scoring form. A matchup against a weak Blackhawks squad seems to be a good spot for picking up some momentum.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller scored a huge game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 victory against Edmonton, finding the back of the net with only 33 seconds left in regulation. Vancouver fell behind twice on home ice in the game, but Miller's late heroics gave the team a 3-2 series lead. It was only fitting that it came from him, as 2023-24 has been a massive year for Miller. After posting his first 100-point campaign during the regular season with 37 goals and 66 assists, Miller is tied with Brock Boeser for most playoff points on the Canucks roster. The first-year All-Star has managed 12 points (three goals, nine assists) in 11 playoff postseason appearances.
J.T. Miller Reaches 100 Points With Three-Assist Effort
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller became the seventh player in franchise history to post a 100-point campaign when he finished Monday's 4-3 win over Vegas with three assists. A couple of Jack Eichel goals put the Canucks in an early two-goal hole, but Miller's elite playmaking helped Vancouver to grab the victory in the end. Two of his assists came with the man advantage. Miller, who has registered 35 goals and 65 assists in 78 outings, likely won't settle for 100 points for the season as he enters the final four contests with an eight-game scoring streak.
J.T. Miller Posts Four-Point Performance In High-Scoring Loss
Vancouver Canucks center J.T. Miller finished with his first hat trick of the season and totaled a team-high of four points in Monday's 10-7 loss against the Wild.

Miller's quality performance brings his season totals to 27 goals and 74 points through 57 games to lead the Canucks in scoring over Elias Pettersson's total of 73 points.
J.T. Miller Grabs Three Points In Loss Versus New Jersey

This marks Miller's sixth effort with at least three points this season. It's been a fantastic campaign for the 30-year-old, who's been one of the most prolific players in the league. Miller's 39 points currently put him behind only Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov (42) on the league's scoring charts. He's totaled 14 goals and 25 assists in 26 outings, recording multiple points 12 times.

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller produced two goals as the team snuck past Anaheim in overtime 3-2 Wednesday night. He put the Canucks on the board with a short-handed tally in the first period and provided the game-winner with just 20 seconds played in the extra frame. Not a bad way to celebrate your 700th career game. Miller has been enjoying very good form over the latter half of the season, collecting 28 points in his past 25 games. He's up to 23 goals and 35 assists for the whole campaign with 63 games played.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller (lower body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against Minnesota. It's been some turn of events after the team ruled Miller to be week-to-week on Monday. It appeared as though Miller was dealing with something that will keep him out for multiple games, but he could now end up missing just one. The 29-year-old has had an up-and-down campaign, posting 54 points in 59 games. He was enjoying a hot spell before getting hurt and will hope to continue it on Thursday if he is indeed able to play. Across his last 11 games, Miller has notched 12 points.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller will miss Monday's contest against Dallas and is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Miller will be unavailable for the first time this season, heading to the shelf with 54 points earned across 59 outings. Aatu Raty now looks in line for a promotion into the top six. The 20-year-old was picked up last month from the Islanders in the Bo Horvat trade and he's struggled to get minutes in the team, but now there's a good chance to test him out in a bigger role. Raty had two points in 14 games with the Islanders this season and he's posted 16 points across 35 AHL outings.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller had a three-point outing against Winnipeg on Sunday, notching a goal and two assists in a 7-4 defeat. He scored the team's first goal and had two assists when the Canucks erased a multi-goal deficit in the second period, but the Jets went on to dominate the end of the game. Miller's second assist came on the power play and he now has 17 points in total with the man advantage this season. Miller's work overall consists of 15 goals and 20 assists in 39 games. He's been a constant threat throughout the season with a number of teammates, but the defense keeps letting Vancouver down and it's resulted in a minus-14 rating for Miller.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller was the main catalyst in Saturday's 5-1 win over Vegas, registering three points. He handed out two assists and ended up with the eventual game-winning goal. Two of Miller's points came on the power play. The Canucks have finally found some form lately and the team's improved play has helped Miller to put together a seven-game point streak. Across the last 15 games, Miller has been held off the score sheet just once, and he has tallied 11 goals and 22 points across the whole season. The 29-year-old has really stepped it up this month, and he's even put up more points in the first 21 games of the campaign than he did during his career year last season when he had 99 points.
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller needed to be helped off the ice after blocking a shot in the dying seconds of the team's first win of the season against Seattle Thursday night. It's currently unclear if he was seriously hurt. Bruce Boudreau finally earned his 600th win in the NHL after Miller & Co. bounced back from losing the first period 2-1. The 29-year-old grabbed a power-play goal from the contest and also had five penalty minutes and four hits in an eventual 5-4 win. He's now on four goals and two assists for the campaign. The Canucks get no rest and play again Friday versus Pittsburgh, meaning Miller has very little time to shake off the injury.
Center/left winger J.T. Miller has agreed to a seven-year, $56 million extension with the Vancouver Canucks that carries an average annual value of $8 million. The deal will start at the beginning of next season and will take him through his age 37 season in 2029-30. After all the talk of Miller getting traded this past season that lasted through the summer, the two sides ended up getting a deal done that keeps Miller with the Canucks long-term. After a decent start to his career, the versatile forward took off once traded to Vancouver, posting 217 points in 202 games in his first three years. Last season, he was just one point shy of the century mark, posting 99 points (32 goals). It is tough to say how the deployment will line up in Vancouver this year, but Miller will certainly be a big part of the top six and see adequate powerplay time as well. He should be drafted confidently in the late-second/early-third round in standard 12-team leagues.
J.T. Miller Has Career-High Five Assists Versus Arizona
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller recorded a career-high five assists in Thursday's 7-1 victory over the Coyotes. Two of his helpers came on the power play. Patrik Sundstrom holds the franchise record for most assists in a game with six. Miller has enjoyed setting up his teammates all season long and has now become the fourth Canuck ever to register a 60-assist season. Henrik Sedin was the last one to do it in 2011-12. The 29-year-old is tied for the sixth-most assists in the league with 62 and can attack the 100-point mark in the final few games of the regular season. He's racked up a career-high 91 points in 72 appearances and Vancouver has seven more contests to come.

He's had a massive year with 77 points in 63 games, joining Connor McDavid and Johnny Gaudreau as the only players in the league with 25-plus goals and 50-plus assists. Miller should be an automatic starter for fantasy managers, and his linemates Tanner Pearson and Conor Garland are worthy of some attention as well.

The 28-year-old hasn't finished without a point for over a month and will enter Friday's battle with the Capitals on a 10-game scoring tear.
