Ryan Miller has been the first to downplay tying Dominik Hasek's franchise record for career victories because the variables have changed. His 234 wins with the Sabres came with an asterisk because they included 32 shootouts. Hasek, one of the best breakaway goalies ever, had 70 ties in nine years in Buffalo.
Miller played well enough and deserved to break the record with a win over the first-place Rangers on Wednesday night. He made 29 saves and recorded his second shutout this season in what officially was a 1-0 shootout loss. He hasn't allowed a goal in 120 minutes, 51 seconds but has a 1-0-1 record to show for his last two games. He submitted his best performance of the season against the Rangers and still lost.
