Miner notched a 35-save shutout in AHL Colorado's 3-0 win over Henderson on Saturday.
This was Miner's first shutout in 12 appearances at the AHL level this season. Due to various injuries to the Avalanche's goalies, he's spent a lot of time in the backup role in the NHL. He's 8-2-1 with a 2.22 GAA and a .919 save percentage in the AHL, so he's more than capable of handling the responsibility of being Colorado's organizational No. 3 goalie.

Rotowire
Miner is expected to patrol the crease at home versus the Maple Leafs on Monday, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.
Miner is coming off a 29-save shutout win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday, so it seems the team will go with the hot hand heading into Monday's contest. Despite his decent performance, Miner will almost certainly be shipped down to the minors once Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body) is cleared to return.

Avalanche's Trent Miner: Blanks Jackets for first shutout
Rotowire
Miner made 29 saves in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.
Called back up from AHL Colorado on Friday to fill in for Mackenzie Blackwood (lower body), Miner was put to work right away and recorded his first NHL shutout in his fifth career outing at the top level.

Through 10 AHL appearances this season, Miner has gone 7-2-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .907 save percentage.
