Jets' Colin Miller: Playing time trending up

Miller was in the lineup for the second game in a row in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Senators.

Miller has played in three of the Jets' last six games, as it appears he's in position to challenge Luke Schenn for a third-pairing role. With the Jets having lost nine straight contests, neither defenseman has much job security at this point. Miller is still looking for his first point of the campaign and has added just 14 shots on net with 23 hits, nine blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-9 rating over 13 appearances.
