He’s played only two games for the Ducks, but Ryan Miller already has proven his worth.
The former Vezina Trophy winner, now 37, signed with the Ducks during the offseason to provide top-notch insurance behind starting goaltender John Gibson.
But what Miller brings is a lot more. When Gibson has needed a rest on the tail end of a back-to-back, Miller has impressed in net.
He did so again Saturday in a shootout loss to the Sharks in San Jose. Miller faced a barrage of shots — 45 in all — and emerged with only one goal allowed.
