Overview
- Miller exited late in the third period after a heavy hit from Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler and did not return.
- Coach Mike Sullivan said Miller is being evaluated for an upper-body injury and reported no results after the 5-4 shootout victory.
- Rookie Gabe Perreault moved onto the top line during the game and recorded an assist, and Sullivan indicated he could see a larger role if needed.
- Defenseman Adam Fox has been skating in a non-contact jersey since his Nov. 29 shoulder injury and could be activated around Dec. 27 once cleared for full contact.
- A potential Miller absence would strain depth with a trip to Nashville next, then games against the Capitals, Islanders and Hurricanes.
