One of Michigan’s native sons is now the winningest American goaltender in the history of the National Hockey League.

Ryan Miller, who was raised in East Lansing and starred at Michigan State, picked up the win in the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Sunday night.

The win gave Miller his 375th victory, breaking a tie with John Vanbiesbrouck for most NHL wins by an American-born netminder.

"He's definitely a goalie I looked up to and a nice moment. He was fixture through the 1980s and '90s when I was growing up and watching hockey," Miller told the Associated Press. "I was happy I could do it at home with the family here."

The milestone win was extra sweet for Miller considering it was his first since Dec. 2. The 17-year veteran had not played since Dec. 9 due to a knee injury.

"It is very satisfying to come off an injury and make a difference,” Miller continued. “When you have a knee injury you are never sure what will happen, and it took longer than I had hoped. I had a few clunky moments, but I worked through it."

Miller played for Michigan State from 1999-2002 where he compiled a 73-19-12 record and a 1.54 goals-against average in 106 career games

He was the recipient of the 2001 Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the nation’s top collegiate player, becoming just the second goaltender to be honored, and was a finalist for the 2002 Hobey Baker Award.

He spent most of his NHL career with the Buffalo Sabres, during which he was one of the best goalies in the NHL.

Congrats to @RyanMiller3039 on becoming the winningest U.S.-born goalie in @NHL history!
