Michigan State's Ryan Miller sets record for most U.S.-born goalie wins

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ryan Miller picked up a milestone win in his first game in two months.

Miller became the all-time leader in wins by a U.S.-born goaltender Sunday night as he made 23 saves in the Anaheim Ducks, 5-2, victory over the Washington Capitals on Sunday night.

It was the 375th victory for Miller, the East Lansing native and two-time CCHA MVP at Michigan State, breaking a tie with John Vanbiesbrouck (Detroit).

“He’s definitely a goalie I looked up to and a nice moment. He was fixture through the 1980s and ‘90s when I was growing up and watching hockey,” Miller said.
