The third year defenseman will return to the lineup tonight against the Montreal Canadiens after serving a three-game ban for his hit on Scott Gomez last week.

Myers draws back into the lineup tonight after serving his three-game suspension. The big d-man has eight goals and 21 points through 50 games.

“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.

Tyler Myers is also skating with Marc Andre Gragnani. They're skating as the 7th and 8th D-men. Lindy Ruff says Myers won't be ready for Monday's game against Washington. The big defenseman is no longer wearing a splint on his injured wrist, but can't put weight on it or take shots just yet.

Myers is definitely close to returning to the team. The hulking defender last played on November 19th and is on track to return over the next week or two.
