“Innumerable miracles”, reduced to none: Saint Nicholas in the Traditional and Modern Roman Missals

Today is the feast day of Saint Nicholas, and his collect in the traditional Roman Missal alludes to his Greek title of "wonderworker", and the "innumerable miracles" he worked during his life: 

Deus, qui beátum Nicoláum Pontíficem,
innúmeris decorásti miráculis:
tríbue, quǽsumus;
ut eius méritis et précibus
a gehénnæ incéndiis liberémur. (CO 1463)

O God, who made the holy Bishop Nicholas
renowned for innumerable miracles,
grant, we beseech you,
that by his merits and prayers
we may be saved from the fires of hell.
