VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Vancouver Canucks center J.T. Miller has taken an indefinite leave from the team for personal reasons. The team announced the move on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Miller has six goals and 10 assists in 17 games for Vancouver. He is second on the team in points behind captain Quinn Hughes’ 18. Miller posted a career-high 103 points last season. Canucks coach Rick Tocchet said he’s proud of his team through the adversity and injuries that seem to be piling up.
