Myers (upper-body) will not play tonight, and is listed as day-to-day.

Myers, who just returned from an elbow injury, is now sidelined with a different upper-body ailment now. Rasmus Ristolainen is up from Rochester and will play tonight, but it does not sound like Myers will be out long-term.

Myers likely to miss Thursday's game with an upper-body injury.

Myers who had just returned to the lineup on Tuesday after missing five games with an elbow injury, suffered an upper-body injury in his first game back and will likely "miss some time" according to Sabres head coach Ted Nolan. With Myers out, Rasmus Ristolainen has been recalled from Rochester.

Myers (arm) will return to the Sabres lineup on Tuesday.

Myers has missed the last five games with an arm injury that he suffered in mid-March. The Sabres sent 19-year-old Rasmus Ristolainen back to the AHL to make space for Myers. He has nine goals, 13 assists and 58 penalty minutes with a minus-26 rating in 61 games this season. At 24-years-old, the 6-foot-8 D-man has certainly taken a step back in the last four seasons after a great rookie campaign in 2009-10.

Myers (knee) will play on Tuesday.

Myers missed the Sabres last two games before the Olympic break with a knee injury that he suffered on February 3 vs. Edmonton. Myers has just one assist with an ugly minus-11 in his last eight games. He should see his regular 20-plus minutes in his return on Tuesday.

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.

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
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.
