Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Contributes two assists in win
Rotowire
Miller notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
Miller snapped a five-game slump with the effort, which saw him help out on second-period tallies by Jordan Staal and Seth Jarvis. The 25-year-old Miller should be able to see a slightly lighter workload following the return of Jalen Chatfield (concussion). Miller has been a decent all-around option in fantasy when healthy, racking up two goals, eight assists, 33 shots on net, 20 hits, 15 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 15 outings this season.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Pockets pair of assists
Rotowire
Miller recorded two assists, four shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Maple Leafs.
Miller has four helpers over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. He's playing on the top pairing again and should continue to do so as long as Jaccob Slavin (lower body), Jalen Chatfield (upper body) and Shayne Gostisbehere (abdomen) are all out. Miller has earned eight points (three on the power play), 22 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM, six hits and a plus-2 rating over nine appearances this season.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Nabs helper in return
Rotowire
Miller posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Wild.
Any hopes of easing Miller back in after a six-game absence due to a lower-body injury were dashed when Jalen Chatfield (upper body) exited the game after a high hit. The 25-year-old Miller logged 23:13 of ice time and appears no worse for wear, so he should be ready to resume his usual top-four duties as the Hurricanes continue to navigate a brutal stretch of injuries. Miller has supplied five points, 16 shots on net, nine blocked shots, six hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances.

Rotowire
Miller (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Miller missed six games with the injury. The former Ranger had two goals, two assists and was averaging 23:32 of ice time before his absence. He should line up on the third unit, alongside Jalen Chatfield and see time on the second power play.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Hopeful for Thursday return
Rotowire
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Wednesday that he hopes Miller (lower body) will be able to return for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Miller has missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to action. While he'll be in the mix to return for Thursday's matchup, Brind'Amour indicated that the team will wait to see how Miller feels in the morning before determining his status. Miller was a strong contributor prior to his absence, logging two goals, two assists, eight blocked shots, six hits and eight PIM while averaging 23:32 of ice time over his first six appearances of the season.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, retroactive to Oct. 20.
Miller has been sidelined for over a week due to his lower-body injury, and his move to injured reserve is procedural to make room on the roster for Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body), who was activated from IR in a corresponding move. Miller skated during Friday's practice session, but he'll likely need to skate with the full team before he's in the mix to return to game action.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Out again Thursday
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Islanders, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Miller will be out of the lineup for a fourth straight game but is still considered day-to-day. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Bruins. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up for that contest, but the fact that he hasn't been placed on injured reserve amid the Hurricanes' run of injuries bodes well for a return to action fairly soon.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Not expected to play
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) isn't expected to play against Vegas on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Miller will miss his third straight game, but he's close to returning to the lineup despite sitting out Monday's practice. However, it's unclear if he will be an option for Thursday's game against the Islanders. Miller has supplied two goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, eight blocked shots and six hits across six appearances this season.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Close to day-to-day
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) is closer to day-to-day than having a long-term issue, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Saturday.
Miller will be out for a straight game against Dallas on Saturday, but Saturday's update is still encouraging. He has averaged 23:32 of ice time across six appearances this year. Carolina needs more than one blueliner to step up to fill that void, especially with Jaccob Slavin (lower body) unavailable as well. Joel Nystrom logged 16:02 of ice time versus the Avalanche in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win due to Miller's absence.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Late scratch Thursday
Rotowire
Miller (lower body) was a late scratch for Thursday's game in Colorado.
Miller took part in Carolina's pregame warmups before he was ruled out for the game. He has two goals and four points in six appearances with the Hurricanes in 2025-26. It wasn't immediately clear why he wasn't in the lineup. Joel Nystrom, who was recalled from AHL Chicago on Thursday, will make his NHL debut if he arrives in time to face the Avalanche.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Earns pair of assists
Rotowire
Miller registered two helpers, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.
Miller has a pair of multi-point efforts over his five games this season. He's at two goals, two helpers, 12 shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating. The 25-year-old has filled a top-four role at even strength while seeing power-play time, and his usage in the latter situation could increase if Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) misses time. Miller's advantageous usage could eventually fade as Alexander Nikishin adjusts to the pace of NHL play, but for now, the former is a decent depth add in fantasy for his well-rounded production.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Scores twice in debut with new club
Rotowire
Miller scored two goals, including one on the power play, on four shots and went plus-1 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Devils.
Miller is off to a hot start with his new team, as he gave Carolina the lead twice in this high-scoring affair. The left-shot blueliner also notched two hits, one block and two PIM in 19:10 of ice time. With a pair of goals in his Hurricanes debut, Miller seems poised to surpass his career high of nine markers, which he set in 2022-23 with the Rangers. The 25-year-old could be in store for a breakout campaign -- he's skating in the top four while working with the No. 2 power-play unit on one of the league's best teams.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Good for Thursday
Rotowire
Miller (upper body) is available for Carolina's season opener against New Jersey on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Wednesday.
Miller had seven goals, 27 points, 107 hits and 110 blocks in 74 outings with the Rangers in 2024-25. He's likely to open the season in a top-four role and receive time on the second power-play unit.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Sheds non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Miller (upper body) sported a regular jersey during Monday's practice, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Miller was on the ice with Carolina's non-game group ahead of Monday's preseason matchup against Florida. It wouldn't be surprising if he sat out Saturday's exhibition finale against Nashville, but no confirmation on that decision has come yet. Still, the 25-year-old defender is making progress in his recovery from surgery and could be ready for the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
Miller (upper body) took the ice in a non-contact jersey at training camp Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
It seems Miller hasn't fully recovered from offseason surgery to address an upper-body issue. There hasn't been any indication from the team that this problem will linger into the regular season, but it's certainly something fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on. Last season, the 25-year-old Minnesota native failed to get over the 30-point threshold but should be capable of achieving that mark if he avoids any lengthy stints on the sideline.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Involved in sign-and-trade
Rotowire
Miller (upper body) signed an eight-year, $60 million contract Tuesday and was traded to the Hurricanes from the Rangers in exchange for a first-round and a second-round pick in 2026 and Scott Morrow, per PuckPedia.
The Rangers' remodeling continues, with Miller out the door to a division rival after the sign-and-trade deal. Miller has emerged as a top-four option early in his career, but the Hurricanes' intensity in their own zone should still provide him a challenge while playing to his strengths as a physical force. The 25-year-old is recovering from an upper-body surgery and may miss part of training camp, but he's poised to be a key part of the Hurricanes' lineup for years to come.
Miller reportedly had surgery to repair an upper-body injury but will be ready for the start of the 2025-26 campaign, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports Friday.
As a restricted free agent, Miller will need a new contract this year before he can return to the lineup -- in addition to recovering from his upper-body injury. Based on the report, it sounds like Miller may not be 100 percent during training camp but should be available for Opening Night of the 2025-26 campaign.

Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Earns two assists Monday
Rotowire
Miller recorded two assists, two shots on goal, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.
Miller remains hot to close out the campaign -- he has two goals and six assists over his last nine outings. That's helped him get his offense back on track, with a total of 26 points over 73 contests this season. He's added 109 shots on net, 106 hits, 108 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating to offer some all-around appeal as usual in fantasy.
