“I take another CAT scan tomorrow morning,” Myers said. “We’ll know a little bit more there, if I can start leaning on my stick a lot more, start engaging in physical play. I think today was its best day.”
Myers was deemed "a ways away" by coach Lindy Ruff at the end of December. Sounds like he continues to take steps in the right direction but probably misses another week or two.
Duchene out at least four weeks with right knee injury
Bad news for Duchene, who will miss all of January at the very least. Knee injuries can be tricky so Duchene may not come back at 100 percent right away. Tough to expect more than one more good month out of him this season.
Duchene still undergoing tests. Results not til later. Sorry
Doesn't sound great for the former 3rd overall pick. Check back for a further update from the team.
#Sabres 4-6 week timetable on Myers was always overly optimistic. Scaphoid injuries are usually 8-10, maybe 12. Tough injury.
Myers was seen skating with a parachute this morning. The big d-man is already past the four week mark and likely requires a few more weeks before getting back on the ice.

Line Change
Julien on Seguin: "He's in the lineup tonight... He missed a game, he's paid his dues... Page turned and we've moved on" ^BB
Seguin was scratched for disciplinary reasons but expect him to get right back into the lineup. The sophomore has 13 goals and 25 points in 25 games but 11 of those points came in a six-game scoring binge.
Line Change
Seguin scratched for "attendance issue." More adversity to overcome.
Don't expect Seguin to miss any further playing time as long as he makes team meetings.
Young Avalanche forwards Matt Duchene and Gabriel Landeskog missed practice Sunday but both are expected to play in Monday's game against the Dallas Stars at the Pepsi Center.
Sounds like Duchy is nursing a minor illness and should be fine for tomorrow's game. He currently leads the team in goals with nine and points with 17. Start him with confidence tomorrow.
Line Change
Duchene is back at left wing on a line with Stastny and Milan Hejduk, a unit that saw success recently.
Duchy moves back up to the top line. He leads the team in goals (9) and points (16).
