VANCOUVER — Star centre J.T. Miller will return to the Canucks’ lineup on Thursday when Vancouver hosts the Florida Panthers.
"I'm here with the team, and I'm ready to look forward to what's going to happen in the future, not necessarily what has happened in the past," he told reporters after the morning skate.He's missed 10 games, during which the Canucks went 5-3-2. “It’s just an example of how much he means to the team and the city. He’s such a big piece to our group," said Canucks defenceman Tyler Myers."But sometimes there's things bigger than hockey. And props to him for stepping away and taking care of those things.”"I think this weekend is four weeks , so I'll try to keep it easy on myself, play my game," he said.
Picked 15th overall by the New York in the 2011 draft, he's currently in his sixth season with the Canucks following stints with the Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning.“I’m excited. He’s excited. The players are excited," Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said of Miller's return."He’s one of the best players in the league. So when you get a guy like that back in the lineup, that means a lot.
