Canucks' Tyler Myers: Helpers in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Myers recorded an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blues.
Myers has a helper in each of the last two games after going six contests without a point before that. The 34-year-old defenseman is up to seven points, 27 shots on net, 29 hits, 51 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 27 appearances. Myers has a shot at a larger role while Filip Hronek (lower body) is sidelined, and it's at least leading to more offense for Myers.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Earns assist in loss
Rotowire
Myers notched an assist, two hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
Myers set up a Kiefer Sherwood tally in the third period. With Filip Hronek (lower body) on the shelf for roughly two months, Myers has taken over on the top pairing alongside Quinn Hughes. That role hasn't led to more offense yet, but Myers should get his looks while seeing time on the second power-play unit. The 34-year-old blueliner is at six points, 26 shots on net, 16 PIM, 27 hits and 50 blocked shots through 26 appearances.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Draws helper in win
Rotowire
Myers notched an assist and blocked three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Senators.
Myers logged 21:48 of ice time Saturday, his first time over 20 minutes in five games. He had to help cover for Quinn Hughes, who was ejected after a boarding major and game misconduct in the first period. Myers has picked up the pace with three points over his last five games, giving him one goal, four assists, 19 shots on net, 18 hits, 33 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 19 appearances this season. Myers should get back to a slightly smaller workload Tuesday versus the Bruins assuming Hughes avoids supplemental discipline.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Bags apple in loss
Rotowire
Myers notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Myers has a goal and an assist over his last three games, bouncing back from his recent eight-game slump on offense. The 34-year-old looks unlikely to repeat his 29-point effort from 77 regular-season contests in 2023-24, but he can offer a little depth scoring in a top-four role. Myers has four points, 19 shots on net, 29 blocked shots, 17 hits and 12 PIM through 17 outings in 2024-25.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Scores late in loss
Rotowire
Myers scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Myers scored after the Islanders took a four-goal lead with an empty-netter. While his tally had no impact on the game, it snapped his seven-game drought on offense. The 34-year-old defenseman has been limited to three points while adding 15 shots on net, 15 hits, 26 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 15 outings. Myers offers decent non-scoring production, but he'd need to do a little more on offense for widespread fantasy appeal.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Nabs helper in win
Rotowire
Myers logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.
Myers has earned an assist in two of the last three games. That's all of his offense through seven contests, though the big defenseman has added eight hits, 10 blocked shots, eight shots on goal and eight PIM. The 34-year-old continues to play in a top-four role, and he's a well-rounded option for fantasy managers outside of his slow start on offense.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Point in 1,000th NHL game
Rotowire
Myers picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-0 win over the Flyers.
He earned his first point of 2024-25 in his 1,000th NHL regular-season appearance. Myers is the 400th player in NHL history to reach the milestone. He saw an offensive resurgence in 2023-24 with 29 points in 77 regular-season outings, but he's better suited to play in shutdown situations.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Set to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Myers (lower body) is expected to play Tuesday versus the Lightning, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Myers was considered a game-time decision, but after taking warmups in his usual second-pairing spot, he looks clear to play. The 34-year-old defenseman will bump Vincent Desharnais out of the lineup for Tuesday's game. Myers ultimately didn't miss an appearance after exiting the Canucks' previous game after one shift.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Game-time call Tuesday
Rotowire
Myers (lower body) may be an option to play versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Coach Rick Tocchet wouldn't confirm that Myers will be in action Tuesday, but it certainly seems to be trending in that direction. The 34-year-old blueliner has yet to record a point through two games this season -- though he logged only 36 seconds of ice time versus the Flyers on Friday before being forced to leave the contest. If Myers does play, it will likely mean a stint in the press box for Vincent Desharnais.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Injured in Friday's game
Rotowire
Myers (lower body) was injured in the first period of Friday's game versus the Flyers and will not return to the contest.
Per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com, Myers was unable to put any weight on his right leg after sustaining the injury on his first shift. Should Myers miss time, Vincent Desharnais is likely to enter the lineup in a bottom-four role. The Canucks' next game is scheduled to be Tuesday in Tampa to kick off a four-game road trip.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Signs three-year deal
Rotowire
Myers inked a three-year, $9 million contract with the Canucks on Thursday.
Myers had five goals, 29 points, 77 PIM, 110 hits and 136 blocks in 77 regular-season contests with Vancouver in 2023-24. He's taking a significant pay cut compared to his previous seven-year, $38.5 million contract, but that's appropriate given that he'll turn 38 before this deal expires. Myers is likely to start the 2024-25 campaign on the second or third pairing.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Offers helper in win
Rotowire
Myers logged an assist, seven hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3.
The helper was Myers' first point in eight playoff games. The 34-year-old also saw a postseason-high 22:56 of ice time Sunday. He's been effective in a top-four role for the Canucks in 2023-24 -- Myers had 29 points, 110 hits, 136 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 77 regular-season appearances, his best scoring output in five years. He's likely to be more reliable in the physical categories than on the scoresheet moving forward.

Canucks' Tyler Myers: Available for Friday
Rotowire
Myers (illness) is expected to draw back into the lineup for Game 3 against Nashville on Friday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.
Myers had five goals, 29 points, 77 PIM, 110 hits and 136 blocks in 77 contests during the regular season. He missed Tuesday's 4-1 Game 2 loss to Nashville because of the illness. Now that Myers is healthy, he'll probably serve on the second pairing while Noah Juulsen might be scratched.

Myers is dealing with the flu, which caused him to miss Game 2 against the Predators on Tuesday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.
Myers had been rolling offensively prior to falling ill, recording five points in his last six games, including a short-handed goal. Without Myers in the lineup, Noah Juulsen stepped into the lineup Tuesday and will likely continue to fill in for Myers if he remains unavailable for Game 3 on Friday.
