Vancouver Canucks winger J.T. Miller was back at practice on Sunday after he was cleared to return by health officials and the league.

My understand is that JT Miller will be practicing with the #canucks today in Calgary. He has been cleared by health officials and the league to rejoin the team. Took a private Jet to Alberta.

Miller, along with defenceman Jordie Benn, has yet to play in a game for the Canucks this season and hadn’t practiced since Monday due to the NHL’s COVID-19 protocols.

The Canucks (1-2-0) will try to return to winning ways on Monday night against the Flames, who won 3-0 in Saturday’s meeting.
