Miller becomes US-born goalies win leader in Ducks' win

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - 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 Miller’s 375th victory, breaking a tie with John Vanbiesbrouck.

“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. “I was happy I could do it at home with the family here.
