Miller has technically been sent to Grand Rapids but could be called up as soon as tomorrow.  The Griffins do not play tonight.

Neither Thomas Vanek nor Dylan Larkin will play in Boston tomorrow night.  Larkin has also been ruled out of Wednesday’s tilt against the Toronto Maple Leafs, so he could go on seven-day IR to clear room for Miller’s temporary return to Detroit.
