Ryan Miller will be honored on Thursday, January 19, 2023 when the Buffalo Sabres face the New York Islanders at KeyBank Center, the team announced Thursday morning.
The Sabres will celebrate the career of the goaltending great as he will be inducted into the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame and have his No. 30 retired to the rafters in a pregame banner-raising ceremony.
Miller, who spent parts of 11 season with Buffalo from 2002 until 2014, is the franchise’s leader in games played by a goaltender (540), wins (284), and saves (14,847). His 28 shutouts as a Sabre are second only to Hall-of-Fame netminder Dominik Hasek and his .916 save percentage ranks third. He finished his career with more wins (391) than any other American-born goaltender in NHL history.
He will be the seventh Sabres player to have his number retired. The orgnaization surprised Miller and his family with the news while they were back in Buffalo for a visit in June.
