Colin Miller's Larynx Injury Sidelines Him for Two Weeks

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Colin Miller is set to miss at least two weeks after sustaining a fractured larynx from a puck to the throat during the first period of a game against the Detroit Red Wings. While initially concerning due to potential airway swelling, Miller is recovering well and has been cycling with teammates. Jets head coach Scott Arniel described the situation as dangerous but noted that Miller remains in good spirits, albeit speaking softer than usual. Miller, who has eight points in 34 games this season, was acquired from the New Jersey Devils and is in the first year of a two-year contract with the Jets. The team is already dealing with injuries to other defensemen like Dylan Samberg and Haydn Fleury. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about player safety regarding neck injuries in hockey.
