The Vancouver Canucks could have a worrisome injury on their hands, as Ryan Miller suffered a lower-body injury colliding with teammate Jannik Hansen during Sunday’s game against the New York Islanders:
No word yet on how serious it is, but Miller was replaced by Eddie Lack at least early on. The Canucks couldn’t help but joke about injury issues:
Anyone else thinking the #Canucks injury bug is more like an injury Tyrannosaurus Rex?

What would that make the Columbus Blue Jackets’ injury bug, then?
Update: Miller and Lack ultimately combined for a shutout in a 4-0 win.
The latest word on Miller isn’t so positive, however:
No real update from WD on Miller, but he's walking w/heavy limp (looks like a knee brace under suit) and he won't be making a return to BUF.
