Canucks' Miller feels good, will back up Thursday vs. Sabres

Ryan Miller appears to be doing better than he was 24 hours ago.

The Vancouver Canucks netminder sat out Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues after arriving to the morning skate with "tightness." In turn, the Canucks were forced to dress University of British Columbia goalie Matt Hewitt as the backup.

Miller returned to practice Wednesday and said he feels good and the tightness is an issue he deals with roughly 10 times a season.

The 36-year-old will back up Jacob Markstrom on Thursday when the club takes on the Buffalo Sabres.
