Kevan Miller proved his worth in 2017-18

Five seasons into his NHL career, the Bruins finally know what to expect from Kevan Miller.

The rugged defender has had some serious bumps in the road. Most of those can be attributed to two issues: 1) Persistent injuries; and 2) Long stretches of being used against high-level competition, a role which he has never been suited to fill. In 2017-18, the Bruins finally had enough blue line talent to give Miller a steady spot on the third pair, and a largely healthy Miller flourished.

Miller started the season on his off-hand, playing on the left side of the third pair with Charlie McAvoy.
