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.

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: 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.
