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.
The third year defenseman will return to the lineup tonight against the Montreal Canadiens after serving a three-game ban for his hit on Scott Gomez last week.
Myers draws back into the lineup tonight after serving his three-game suspension. The big d-man has eight goals and 21 points through 50 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.
“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.

#Sabres Lindy said Tyler Myers is still "a ways away."
Myers is definitely close to returning to the team. The hulking defender last played on November 19th and is on track to return over the next week or two.
Tyler Myers is also skating with Marc Andre Gragnani. They're skating as the 7th and 8th D-men. Lindy Ruff says Myers won't be ready for Monday's game against Washington. The big defenseman is no longer wearing a splint on his injured wrist, but can't put weight on it or take shots just yet.
