Boston Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller announced his retirement on Monday. The 33-year-old has suffered from several injuries in his career, and he was only able to play in 28 regular-season games this past season. Miller spent his whole seven-year career with Boston compiling 13 goals and 58 helpers in 352 contests. However, since the 2018-19 season, he has skated in just 68 regular-season games. The Los Angeles-born defenseman entered the offseason as an unrestricted free agent before announcing his retirement.
Boston Bruins defenseman Kevan Miller will be back in action on Friday versus the Sabres, replacing Connor Clifton in the lineup. The 33-year-old missed five games with a foot infection. Miller will skate on the second defensive pairing with Mike Reilly, who's made a productive start in Boston with four points in six games. The veteran blueliner has been on a load management schedule throughout the season due to a surgically repaired right knee, appearing in only 19 games. Miller has posted two points -- both assists - with 15 shots and a minus-one rating.
