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 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 has been battling an undisclosed injury lately, but has still been playing nearly 25 minutes a night. He will take a seat tonight and call-up Rasmus Ristolainen will be in.
Kane has missed the last six games with an infected hand, but will play on Thursday. Kane has only played in four of the last 14 games, he recorded one goal and three assists in those four games. Injuries have limited Kane to 42 games this season, but while in the lineup he has recorded 15 goals and 14 assists (29 points) in 42 games.
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 was expected to miss tonight's game, but interim head coach Ted Nolan confirmed that he is not healthy enough to play. Chad Ruhwedel will re-enter the lineup in Myers spot. The Sabres are hopeful that Myers will be available on Thursday.
Myers was injured on Monday, but the injury is not as serious as originally expected. He is listed as day-to-day and may miss tonight's tilt with the Penguins.
This is a terrible break for the Jets. Kane has been in and out of the lineup with injuries all season. In four games since returning from his hand injury he had four points (1G / 3A). He has totalled 29 points (15G / 14A) in 42 games this season.
Kane missed the last four games with a hand injury but will be back on Tuesday on a line with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Kane has 25 points (14G / 11A) in 38 games this season including five goals and two assists in his last five games.
Kane has missed the last four games with a hand injury, but his presence at practice is a good sign that he should be ready to go on Tuesday in Anaheim, barring a setback. Since returning from his lower-body injury on December 16, Kane has recorded seven goals and four assists (11 points) in 12 games. Monitor his status leading up to Tuesday.
Kane will miss his third straight game tonight, but will be eligible to come off of IR as soon as he is healthy. It doesn't sound like Kane is making too much progress, but continue to monitor his status heading into Saturday's game. His placement on IR allowed the Jets to recall Carl Klingberg.
Alexander Sulzer is likely to take a seat in the press box with Myers returning. Myers has 12 points (4G / 8A) with an ugly minus-15 rating in 42 games this season.

Kane should be considered day-to-day, monitor his status prior to Monday's game vs. the Coyotes. Eric O'Dell will replace him on the Jets' second line.

Kane missed practice for the second straight day and is unlikely to play tomorrow vs. the Blue Jackets. This is a tough break for Kane owners who have enjoyed seven goals and four assists (11 points) in his last 12 games since returning from a lower-body injury. If he is unable to play, Eric O'Dell is expected to take his spot on the Jets' second line. Monitor his status following the morning skate.
Myers will not play tomorrow, Thursday or Sunday. He is eligible to returns to the lineup next Tuesday vs. Philadelphia.
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.
”I’m back in and ready to go,” Kane said. He is expected to skate on a like with Mark Scheifele and Michael Frolik when the Jets take on the Blue Jackets tonight. Kane has seven goals and seven assists in 26 games.
Kane missed the last six games after suffering a lower-body injury in an afternoon game on November 29. He will skate on a line with Mark Scheifele and Michael Frolik. Kane has struggled a bit this season posting just 14 points (7G / 7A) in 26 games.
