The back of Ryan Miller's goalie mask contains a tribute to his cousin, Matt Schoals. Painted there is a bulldog in a Michigan State jersey with the words "Matt Man" below it.
The image has served as a reminder to Miller of his cousin's fight with leukemia.
On Monday, one month after his 18th birthday, Matt Schoals passed away.
He was leukemia and cancer free, but a recent bone marrow procedure left him ill and he was unable to recover.
Miller will be in uniform for the Sabres game Thursday night versus the Atlanta Thrashers.
