Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers (lower body) will play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday. He saw just 36 seconds of action in the previous game against Philadelphia due to a lower-body injury, but Myers has shaken off the ailment ahead of Tuesday's matchup. The towering blue-liner will skate in his usual spot on the second defensive pairing next to Carson Soucy. It should be a very busy night for Myers against a talented forwards group.
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers exited Friday's 3-2 shootout loss against Philadelphia with a lower-body injury. He was involved in an awkward collision with Flyers forward Joel Farabee early in the first period and needed help to get off the ice. Myers couldn't put any weight on his right leg. Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet didn't have an update on Myers after the game. The 34-year-old is a big piece of the Canucks defense in more ways than one. Standing at six-foot-eight, Myers is an intimidating figure, but he occasionally helps out the offense as well. He tallied 29 points (five goals, 24 assists) in 77 games last season while racking up 136 blocks and 110 hits. Vincent Desharnais will likely enter the lineup if Myers lands on the shelf for the next game on Tuesday versus Tampa Bay.

He will likely play again in Friday's Game 3 if Myers can't shake off the flu bug.

Myers was possibly going to return for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Avalanche but ended up missing his fourth straight game. Myers returned to practice on Tuesday. "It was good to get back out with the guys," Myers said following Tuesday's skate. "It's getting pretty close here, so we'll see in the next day or few days what game it's going to be." The veteran has recorded four goals and 23 points on the season while blocking 114 shots and posting a plus-12 rating.

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers will miss two to four weeks with a lower-body injury, head coach Bruce Boudreau announced on Friday. The big blue-liner recorded his third 82-game season in 2021-22 but will unfortunately miss some time right from the off in the new campaign. Myers notched only 18 points last season, but he was a major force on the defensive end with 148 blocks and 145 hits, which are both his career-high marks. He produced a solid plus-15 rating, and Quinn Hughes and Oliver Ekman-Larsson were the only skaters on the team to average more ice time than him. The two are set to be even busier with Myers missing.

Myers had six shots on goal, five scoring chances, three hits, and three blocked shots.
