Canucks' Ryan Miller: Defending net Saturday

Miller will face off against the Kings on the road Saturday, Ben Kuzma of TSN 1040 reports.

Analysis:

This will be the sixth straight start for Miller, who hadn't been promising in the previous five -- recording only one win and posting a .907 save percentage. The veteran backstop will have the chance to turn this slump around Saturday, but he will have to do it against a hungry playoff contender in the Kings. Miller has played one game at home against Los Angeles this season, where he deflected 36 of 37 shots and marked one in the win column.
