Big Night From J.T. Miller Leads Canucks Over Senators
4 years agoVancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller picked up two goals and an assist Wednesday night as Vancouver topped Ottawa 5-1. Miller also tacked on four penalty minutes, four hits, and four shots on goal to round out a tremendous fantasy night for the veteran winger. While Miller now sits with eight points in six games this season, his two goals in this contest were his first markers of the season. He did lead all Vancouver forwards in ice time and continues to skate on a line with Elias Petterson and Brock Boeser, so there is plenty of reason to believe he will be able to more consistently find the back of the net going forward. His 0.33 goals per game rate and 1.67 shots per game rate are down from last year's rates, but that is more likely due to a small sample of games than any reason for concern.
