In his senior collegiate season in 2012–13, Miller was instrumental in helping Yale to the National Championship, scoring the overtime-winning goal in the semi-final against UMass Lowell to send Yale to its first-ever National Championship game. Miller scored the third goal and assisted on an empty netted goal with 6:38 left in the Championship game, to go up 4–0 on Quinnipiac.

On April 17, 2013, the Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms with Miller on a one-year entry-level contract. On July 15, 2014, the Edmonton Oilers agreed to terms for another one-year deal for the 2014–15 season.
