Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers (undisclosed) is expected to return to action on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks. He didn't play on Wednesday versus the Calgary Flames due to an undisclosed injury. On Friday, Myers was back in practice, and he will likely replace Elias Pettersson in the Canucks defense on Saturday. Myers plays a solid two-way game and has done a little bit of everything in 2024-25. With 61 games played, he is sitting on 21 points (four goals, 17 assists), 67 shots, 108 blocks, and 73 hits. In Saturday's game, Myers will be reunited with Marcus Pettersson on the second defensive pairing.
Vancouver Canuck defenseman Tyler Myers has been suspended for three games. The 34-year-old was punished for cross-checking Edmonton defenseman Evan Bouchard to the head in Saturday's 3-2 win. As a result of the suspension, Myers will have to sit out Tuesday's clash with Buffalo, a rematch against the Oilers on Thursday, and Saturday's contest versus Washington. He is eligible to return to action on Jan. 27 against St. Louis. This is his third career suspension. The Canucks have called up Mark Friedman from the minors as a potential replacement for Myers. However, Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) is also an option. He has missed two games due to an undisclosed injury but is considered day-to-day.

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.

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.

Noah Juulsen came in for Myers on Tuesday and logged 11:24 of ice time on the second defensive pairing. Myers' return will likely push him out of the lineup again.

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. The Canucks enter Saturday's game sitting first in the Pacific Division with a 42-17-8 record, nine points clear of the second-place Oilers.

The hulking 6-foot-8 rear guard has recorded four goals and 23 points on the season across 62 games. He has added 86 hits, 114 blocks, and 63 penalty minutes to his resume on the campaign as part of his 18:57 of average ice time per game.

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.

Ultimately, the Canucks would go on to win and Myers wound up playing nearly 30 minutes in a regulation game because of Tucker Poolman's unexpected exit (COVID protocol). Myers had six shots on goal, five scoring chances, three hits, and three blocked shots. The defenseman had been a good filler of fantasy peripheral categories but he took that to another level Tuesday.
