Myers injury is not believed to be serious and the Sabres believe he could be back on Tuesday in Detroit. With Myers out, Mark Pysyk will play after being recalled from Rochester this morning.

Myers injury is not believed to be serious and the Sabres believe he could be back on Tuesday in Detroit. With Myers out, Mark Pysyk will play after being recalled from Rochester this morning.

Myers left Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. With Myers injured, the Sabres are expected to recall a defenseman from Rochester for tonight’s game vs. the Bruins.

Myers played a ridiculous 31:34 TOI on Saturday and is likely not 100% after missing two of the last five games. Expect him to be back with Josh Gorges on the Sabres top-pairing.

Myers missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but will be back in tonight vs. the Canadiens. He will be paired with Tyson Strachan. Myers has averaged 24:36 TOI and scored one goal with four assists in 21 games.

Myers missed Wednesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he will be back on the blue line tonight vs. the Habs. He was paired with Tyson Strachan in the morning skate which suggests he will play. He has five points (1G / 4A) in 21 games.

It is believed that Myers suffered the injury while blocking a shot in the Sabres win over the Capitals on Saturday. Andrej Meszaros will slide into the lineup with Myers out. He is day-to-day.

Seguin missed yesterday's practice because he had his wisdom teeth removed on Sunday, but he is back on the ice today and will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Kings. He will centre the top line with Jamie Benn and Valeri Nichushkin on his wings.

The Stars are fully expecting to have their star winger in the lineup on Tuesday vs. the Kings. He is off to a stellar start to the season, recording seven goals (t-4th in NHL) and eight assists (t-15th) for 15 points (t-3rd) in 11 games this season. Monitor his status during Tuesday's morning skate.

There is no word as to why Seguin was absent from the skate, but we should get an update from coach Lindy Ruff shortly. Valeri Nichushkin skated in his spot on the top-line.

Seguin missed practice on Friday because of an illness, but stated that he should be available for Saturday night. Seguin had no points with one shot in 18:34 in the Stars' 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Friday. Expect an update on Saturday morning.

Duchene hasn't played since March 29 because of a knee injury. He missed the final eight games of the regular season and the first five in this best-of-7 series against the Wild, which the Avalanche lead 3-2. Duchene skated on the fourth line with Brad Malone and Maxime Talbot during pregame warmups. It was a different line than he practiced with during the morning skate, when he was between Ryan O'Reilly and PA Parenteau. Duchene led Colorado with 70 points (23 goals, 47 assists) during the regular season.

Duchene took part in the Avalanche's morning skate and was on a line with Ryan O'Reilly and P.A Parenteau which suggests that if he plays, he will not be on the fourth line like head coach Patrick Roy had originally indicated. Duchene has not played since March 29th, but is the Avalanche's top offensive threat and definitely boosts their chances at eliminating the Wild tonight if he is in the lineup.

The early word from the Avs is that Duchene is likely to return on Monday, but head coach Patrick Roy has not confirmed that. Roy said that if Duchene does play, he will likely play on the fourth line and power-play, but I find that hard to believe. The Avalanche will hit the ice for their morning skate shortly, so we will have word on Duchene's availability soon thereafter.

Duchene wasn't confirmed to return today for the Avs but with Patrick Roy calling the shots, a return tonight is entirely possible.

Duchene would add the extra scoring punch that the Avs could desperately use to easily push past the Wild. Instead, look for a Round 2 return from a knee injury at the earliest for the Avs' leading scorer.


Duchene was injured in a collision with his linemate Jamie McGinn on Saturday. This is a tough break for the Avalanche who lose their leading scorer just two weeks before the end of the regular season. Four weeks will have him returning around April 21, which will see him likely miss the majority, if not all of the first-round.

Monitor Seguin's status during pre-game warmups, but if he is unable to go expect Chris Mueller, who was recalled today, to slide into the lineup.

Duchene suffered the injury when he collided with line-mate Jamie McGinn. Duchene played just 32 seconds before retiring to the dressing room. The Avalanche have had a great season and will make the playoffs, but losing Duchene for an extended period of time would be devastating. We will update his status as soon as something is released.

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.
