Ryan Miller returns to Ducks on 1-year pact

The Anaheim Ducks signed goaltender Ryan Miller to a one-year contract, the team announced Wednesday.

Miller's deal is worth $1 million, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 40-year-old spent the last three campaigns backing up John Gibson in Anaheim. He's fared extremely well during his time with the Ducks, appearing in 71 games and recording a 29-19-12 record with a .916 save percentage and 2.72 goals-against average. Over those three seasons, he led all goaltenders (minimum 3,000 minutes) in even-strength save percentage (.931).

The former Vezina Trophy winner indicated earlier in May that while he still had a desire to play hockey, there was a chance that the COVID-19 pandemic would force him into an earlier retirement.

With Miller now off the market, Craig Anderson and Jimmy Howard are the two most notable netminders available in free agency.
