Miller is lined up to start Friday against the Blue Jackets, Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun reports.

Analysis:

Miller has generally been racking up wins on the strength of his impressive offense this season, but he's been airtight in goal over his last two turns. After limiting the Blackhawks to one goal on 25 shots Sunday, the netminder spun his second shutout of the season in his last start Tuesday against the Devils. He'll make for a superb option against a Columbus squad that looks like one of the weakest outfits in the Eastern Conference.
