Ryan Miller left the Buffalo Sabres as their all-time leader in wins, and they certainly havent looked capable of getting one themselves lately. Now with the Vancouver Canucks, Miller is expected to face his former team for the first time since being traded as the Sabres look to avoid the NHLs longest regulation losing streak in 22 years tonight. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1040 Vancouver with coverage starting at 5pm pt. Miller was a cornerstone for the Sabres for nearly a decade, setting franchise records for wins in a season (41) and overall (284) while claiming the 2010 Vezina Trophy. He also spurred runs to the 2006 and 07 Eastern Conference finals. He gained mainstream notoriety for backstopping the United States to the silver medal in the 2010 Olympics, earning MVP honors. An expiring contract, however, led the Sabres to send him to St. Louis in a blockbuster trade on March 1. Its going to be a little bit strange. Im going to pay special attention not to pass the puck to the Buffalo symbol, Miller said. Its going to be nice to see some of the faces over there, but part of hockey is having fun competing against your friends, former teammates, colleagues. I look forward to these opportunities. This is a chance to play against a team and organization that does mean a lot to me. Miller has adjusted just fine after signing with the Canucks (26-17-3) last summer. Hes 23-11-1 with a 2.33 goals-against average and five shutouts. However, hes allowed six goals on 48 shots while losing his last two games after going 7-2-1 with a 1.40 GAA and two shutouts over his previous 10. He made 20 saves Tuesday, when Vancouver lost 4-0 to NHL-leading Anaheim. I think were a better team than that, coach Willie Desjardins said after his team was held to 17 shots. Weve just got to find ways. The Sabres (14-32-3) probably say that nearly every game, as they own the worst record in the NHL after finishing last in 2013-14. Theyre also enduring a franchise-record 13-game losing streak, and a loss to Miller would give them the longest regulation losing streak since San Jose dropped 17 straight from Jan. 4-Feb. 12, 1993. Desjardins, though, isnt taking Buffalo lightly. I think if you look past them, its a mistake. I dont know why we would. We certainly shouldnt be, Desjardins said. The Sabres, 1-16-1 in their last 18 games, did little to strike fear in anyone Thursday, losing 3-2 at Edmonton in a battle of the two worst teams in the league. I think we need to stay positive and just keep approaching every game like were going to win the game, said Jhonas Enroth, who had 31 saves. We cant go into every game thinking were going to lose the game. We have to stay positive and still believe that we can win games. Improved goaltending would also help. Enroth has lost eight straight starts with a 4.66 GAA, but its unclear if hell get the call on back-to-back days. Backup Michal Neuvirth, though, has a 4.10 GAA while losing his last eight starts since returning from a lower-body injury. Hes lost both of his career visits to Vancouver while surrendering seven goals on 67 shots. Miller sympathizes with his former team. When youre not getting the results and people are talking about it, theres that place you can go and kind of get numb and dont get emotionally charged, he said. Last year, I was getting a little bit numb for a stretch, but I reminded myself why I like to play and re-energized myself. I hope they find that energy.

The All-Star guard did not sustain structural damage Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers and is not expected to miss any significant time. An MRI revealed a bruise, the team said Wednesday in a statement. Irving will have treatment, get continued evaluation and is listed as questionable for Clevelands game on Thursday night at home against Orlando. "Scary moment but Ill be good," Irving said on his Twitter account. "Thanks for everyones support and concern." The Cavs were shaking when Irving fell awkwardly and had to be helped off the floor in the third quarter against the Pacers. He was examined by a team doctor and returned to play the final minutes as the Cavs lost their sixth straight, 91-76. Following the game, Irving said he felt a "pop" in his knee and was concerned his injury was serious. "I thought the worst happened," said Irving, who is averaging 22.dddddddddddd6 points per game in his third NBA season. "I felt something pop in my knee. When I came back in, my left knee is pretty weak right now. I was falling all over the place. I didnt have my legs under me. It was a painful experience." The former No. 1 overall pick has been injury prone since coming into the NBA. Irving missed 38 games in his first two seasons with a variety of injuries, including a broken nose, fractured jaw, broken finger, sprained knee and shoulder, and concussion. Irving played in only 11 games as a freshman at Duke because of a foot injury, and he broke his hand after his rookie season when he slammed a padded wall during a summer league practice in Las Vegas. Irving set a goal to play in all 82 games this season, and hasnt missed one yet. The Cavs will likely take a cautious approach with Irving and may sit him for a game or two. Cleveland hosts the Magic on Thursday, plays at Brooklyn on Saturday and hosts the Pacers on Sunday.
