Andrew Robert Miller (born September 18, 1988) is an American ice hockey player who is currently playing for the Charlotte Checkers in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He formerly played for Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey, winning the 2013 NCAA championship with them.

Playing career

In his senior collegiate season in 2012–13, Miller was instrumental in helping Yale to the National Championship, scoring the overtime winning goal in the semi-final against UMass Lowell to send Yale to its first ever National Championship game. Miller scored the third goal and assisted on an empty netted goal with 6:38 left in the Championship game, to go up 4-0 on Quinnipiac.

On April 17, 2013, the Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms with Miller on a one-year entry level contract.[1] On July 15, 2014, the Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms for another one-year deal for the 2014–15 season.

On March 27, 2015 he scored his first NHL goal against Kari Lehtonen of the Dallas Stars during a penalty shot. Miller is the first player in Oilers franchise history to score his first NHL goal on a penalty shot.[2]

In the following 2015–16 season, Miller featured in a further 6 scoreless games with the Oilers, but was primarily assigned to the AHL affiliate Bakersfield Condors. After producing 39 points in 44 games with the Condors, Miller was loaned by the Oilers to the Charlotte Checkers, an affiliate to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Zach Boychuk on March 7, 2016.[3]
