In the ‘Saturday Headlines’ part of Hockey Night in Canada, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet gave an update on Vancouver Canucks defenseman Tyler Myers.
With regard to veteran defenseman Tyler Myers, who exited Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers with an apparent leg injury after being entangled with Joel Farabee, the Vancouver Canucks have seemingly avoided a worst-case situation. Shortly after the start of the second period, the Canucks stated that Myers required assistance getting back to the dressing room.
Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman provided an encouraging report on Tyler Myers’ condition during yesterday night’s Hockey Night in Canada ‘Saturday Headlines’ section. The Vancouver Canucks are scheduled to travel for three games.
According to Friedman, this is fantastic news for the Vancouver Canucks because
The Canucks will probably start both Noah Juulsen and Vincent Desharnais if Tyler Myers is unable to play on Tuesday night. After a lackluster performance against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday, Desharnais was benched on Friday night. Rick Tocchet added Noah Juulsen to the roster to play in the third pairing with Derek Forbort after Desharnais was scratched.
We’ll have to wait and see what Tyler Myers’s next few days hold, as well as whether his unspecified ailment heals sufficiently for him to participate on the road trip. The Canucks won’t hurry Tyler Myers back and run the danger of him making that injury worse because we’re only two games into the season.Currently classified as day-to-day, Tyler Myers will accompany the club on their road trip, which starts in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
