The Vancouver Canucks announced that star forward J.T. Miller is taking an indefinite leave for personal reasons.

This comes unexpectedly and right after mild controversy as Miller did not play the final 14:40 of the Canucks last game against the Nashville Predators. There are thoughts about Miller possibly dealing with an injury, but that was unclear. 

Vancouver is hosting Miller's former team, the New York Rangers, tonight, and the head coach will likely provide the best update available to him after the morning skate. The team stated they would keep things private for Miller's privacy.
