"It's all about points right now and it's all about getting wins and making sure that we stay with the pack," said coach Randy Carlyle, whose Ducks are tied for the final Western Conference playoff spot with three other clubs.
Miller stood tall and denied all five Jets skaters in the shootout, becoming only the fifth goaltender in the last 40 years to record a victory without making an official save.
The third-line center burst into the zone, ripped the puck from Laine, then brushed off a hook from a trailing defender and let loose with a top-shelf wrister to tie the score at 1-1.
But the Jets, who lead the Central Division behind their all-star goalie, captain Blake Wheeler and a young crop of quick, physical skaters, rallied again.
They head into the break following an impressively played game against one of the best teams in the league, but they will have to hold their breath as they wait to learn the status of Gibson, their No.
