What to expect on Ryan Miller Night

Ryan Miller Night presented by KeyBank is almost here.
On Thursday, the Buffalo Sabres will induct goaltending great Ryan Miller into the team's Hall of Fame and raise his No. 30 to the rafters. The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. Doors to KeyBank Center will open at 4:30 and fans attending the sold-out game are strongly encouraged to be in their seats by 5:50 so they do not miss the start of the ceremony.
Upon entry, all fans in attendance will receive a replica banner.
Fans enjoying from home can catch the ceremony on MSG starting at 6 as part of an extended pregame show. Warmups will take place following the banner-raising festivities and faceoff against the New York Islanders is set for 7:30.

Over 20 Sabres alumni who played with Miller are scheduled to attend and partake in the pregame ceremony, including Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek, Drew Stafford, Derek Roy, Paul Gaustad, Henrik Tallinder, Tim Connolly and J-P Dumont.

The Buffalo Sabres 50/50 raffle jackpot is a guaranteed $30,000 for the evening. 50/50 raffle tickets can be purchased at KeyBank Center on Thursday or online now. There will also be five additional drawings with those winners being awarded Ryan Miller-themed prizes.
During the game, the team will wear a special jersey patch to honor Miller's banner night. The jerseys will then be up for auction online at Sabres.com/Auctions.

Miller, who spent parts of 11 season with Buffalo from 2002 until 2014, is the franchise's leader in games played by a goaltender (540), wins (284), and saves (14,847). His 28 shutouts as a Sabre are second only to Hall-of-Fame netminder Dominik Hasek and his .916 save percentage ranks third. He finished his career with more wins (391) than any other American-born goaltender in NHL history.
Miller will become the 43rd person to be inducted into the Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame and the eighth Sabres player to have his number retired.
