Tyler Myers News
Myers left Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. With Myers injured, the Sabres are expected to recall a defenseman from Rochester for tonight’s game vs. the Bruins.
Myers played a ridiculous 31:34 TOI on Saturday and is likely not 100% after missing two of the last five games. Expect him to be back with Josh Gorges on the Sabres top-pairing.
Myers missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but will be back in tonight vs. the Canadiens. He will be paired with Tyson Strachan. Myers has averaged 24:36 TOI and scored one goal with four assists in 21 games.
Myers missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he will be back on the blue line tonight vs. the Habs. He was paired with Tyson Strachan in the morning skate which suggests he will play. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 21 games.
It is believed that Myers suffered the injury while blocking a shot in the Sabres win over the Capitals on Saturday. Andrej Meszaros will slide into the lineup with Myers out. He is day-to-day.
Myers, who just returned from an elbow injury, is now sidelined with a different upper-body ailment now. Rasmus Ristolainen is up from Rochester and will play tonight, but it does not sound like Myers will be out long-term.
Myers who had just returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing five games with an elbow injury, suffered an upper-body injury in his first game back and will likely "miss some time" according to Sabres head coach Ted Nolan. With Myers out, Rasmus Ristolainen has been recalled from Rochester.
Myers has missed the last five games with an arm injury that he suffered in mid-March. The Sabres sent 19-year-old Rasmus Ristolainen back to the AHL to make space for Myers. He has nine goals, 13 assists and 58 penalty minutes with a minus-26 rating in 61 games this season. At 24-years-old, the 6-foot-8 D-man has certainly taken a step back in the last four seasons after a great rookie campaign in 2009-10.
Myers has been battling an undisclosed injury lately, but has still been playing nearly 25 minutes a night. He will take a seat tonight and call-up Rasmus Ristolainen will be in.
Myers missed the Sabres last two games before the Olympic break with a knee injury that he suffered on February 3 vs. Edmonton. Myers has just one assist with an ugly minus-11 in his last eight games. He should see his regular 20-plus minutes in his return on Tuesday.
Myers was expected to miss tonight's game, but interim head coach Ted Nolan confirmed that he is not healthy enough to play. Chad Ruhwedel will re-enter the lineup in Myers spot. The Sabres are hopeful that Myers will be available on Thursday.
Myers was injured on Monday, but the injury is not as serious as originally expected. He is listed as day-to-day and may miss tonight's tilt with the Penguins.
Alexander Sulzer is likely to take a seat in the press box with Myers returning. Myers has 12 points (4G / 8A) with an ugly minus-15 rating in 42 games this season.
Myers will not play tomorrow, Thursday or Sunday. He is eligible to returns to the lineup next Tuesday vs. Philadelphia.
The Sabres have three games this week, so monitor Myers status on Monday before finalizing your lineups in weekly leagues. With a phone hearing he is not expected to be given a lengthy suspension, but as a repeat offender he will likely get at least one game.
There is no word on how severe the injury to Myers is, but there should be a detailed injury report released in the next few days. For now consider the towering defenseman day-to-day. He has struggled with just two goals and eight points with a minus-13 rating in 31 games.
Feel free to drop Myers. This is just another bump in the road in a tough season for Myers. He scored just three goals and added five assists in 39 games.
Myers was a healthy scratch for the Sabres last two games. He only has 1 goal and is a -9 in the 11 games he appeared in so far this season. The Sabres are hoping that using him as a healthy scratch will serve as a wake-up call to Myers and get his game back on track.
Myers was scratched yesterday as well. He has been terrible for the Sabres this season, he has 1 G and a team worst -9 in 11 games this season. The 23 year-old has all the tools to be a great NHL defenceman but just hasn't been able to find his game early this season.
