The native of Minot, N.D., began his weekend by scoring four goals, which tied an NAHL single-game high in a 7-0 home win on Friday. The next night, Miller picked up an assist in a 3-2 overtime win on the road in Brookings.
For the season, Miller is second on the Bruins in scoring with 30 points in 36 games played.
“Jade has stepped up and lead our team on the ice this season as he continues to play in critical roes both offensively and defensively. His scoring ability has been a big factor in our success this season,” said Austin head coach Kyle Grabowski.
