J.T. Miller scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist, logged four hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday’s 6-3 win over the Senators. Miller’s points came 55 seconds apart late in the first period as the Canucks stormed out to a 5-0 lead. The 30-year-old had gone eight games without a goal, his worst drought of the season, but he had eight assists in that span. He’s also had just one multi-game point drought all campaign. Miller is up to 16 tallies, 50 points (22 on the power play), 82 shots on net, 80 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating through 37 appearances.

Robert Thomas scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh. It was Thomas’ 15th goal of the season — his previous best was 20 goals (2021-22). He’s known as a playmaker, but he’s showing off an impressive scoring touch this season. The 24-year-old has 15 goals and 39 points in 36 games played. Remarkably, just five of Thomas’ points have come on the power play. Last season, 22 of his 65 points came with the man advantage. More should come — he’s doing it the hard way right now.

The total has gone OVER in 9 of Vancouver’s last 11 games on the road.
