His
Impact: With his team on the brink of elimination
after losing the first game of its CCHA quarterfinal
series against Alaska Fairbanks at Munn Ice Arena, Miller
led the Spartans’ offensive explosion the next
two nights. He factored into four of MSU’s six
goals Saturday as the Spartans raced to an easy 6-1
win over the Nanooks, then notched a hat trick –
including a shorthanded goal early in the first period
and the eventual game winner – in Sunday’s
series finale, a 7-4 MSU win. Miller now leads or shares
the team lead in goals (17), assists (24), points (41),
power-play goals (eight) and game-winning goals (four).
