Tyler Myers News
Myers will have a discipline phone hearing tomorrow after delivering an illegal check to the head of Dainius Zubrus on Saturday.
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.
Myers left Tuesday's contest in OT after taking a puck to the face.
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.
#Sabres Tyler Myers broke his leg Thursday, is out for the season.
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.

Tyler Myers will play tonight for the Sabres.
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.

#Sabres Tyler Myers just told me he's scratched tonight. #Buffalo
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.

Tyler Myers a scratch for Buffalo tonight. Sabres giving up 5.39 goals per 60 Min. of 5-on-5 play with him on the ice.
Myers has been having a tough start to the year. The former top prospect will have an opportunity to clear his head tonight. At this point, Myers is expendable in fantasy.
Myers was seen in a walking boot late last night and I asked Ruff today -- twice -- if the foot was broken. He wouldn't answer directly, other than to say the foot was "bad."
Sounds like Myers will miss the rest of the regular season and the playoffs (if the Sabres make it). He has eight goals and 23 points in 55 games.
Myers a possibility
Myers could return within the next three games. He has eight goals and 23 points in 55 games.

Myers not in Toronto this morning getting foot looked at in Buffalo...gm time decision
Tough break for the Sabres as they could be playing without one of their better defensemen. Myers scored eight goals and 23 points in 55 games.

Myers set to return to the line-up tonight #Sabres
Myers gets back into the lineup for the first time since November 19th. He has two goals and six points in 19 games in what was considered a down year. Might be a good time to buy low on the former Calder winner.

Myers hoping to be back for Friday
Myers has been out since November 19th with a broken wrist. The former Rookie of the Year scored two goals and six points prior to getting hurt.
Tyler Myers is not here as he's undergoing another CT-scan on his wrist. Update: M yers has now joined the skate a little late.
Myers continues to progress so staying on the ice should be a good sign. The big man has been out since November 19th.
“I take another CAT scan tomorrow morning,” Myers said. “We’ll know a little bit more there, if I can start leaning on my stick a lot more, start engaging in physical play. I think today was its best day.”
Myers was deemed "a ways away" by coach Lindy Ruff at the end of December. Sounds like he continues to take steps in the right direction but probably misses another week or two.
#Sabres 4-6 week timetable on Myers was always overly optimistic. Scaphoid injuries are usually 8-10, maybe 12. Tough injury.
Myers was seen skating with a parachute this morning. The big d-man is already past the four week mark and likely requires a few more weeks before getting back on the ice.
