Miller stopped 23 shots, though his career-best scoreless streak ended at 200:45 when he conceded with 2:32 left. It was fun while it lasted but the important thing was to get the two points here and move onto Tampa, Miller said. Miller made 30 saves in Thursdays 4-0 win at Philadelphia and had 28 the next night in a 3-0 win over Carolina.

Those guys, theyve got a team and (theyre) cruising through the East, just shutting teams out and we know when we played them up there, although we won the game, we know there were times when they were on us pretty good.
