Miller will start between the pipes Thursday against the Sharks.

Analysis:

While Miller's level of play really hasn't dropped this month (2.74 GAA, .921 save percentage), the lack of offensive support (1.60 goals per game in March, last in NHL) has led to a paltry 1-5-1 record. Things likely won't get any better Thursday as the netminder squares off against a Sharks club that he's lost to twice already this season.
