The Vancouver Canucks received promising injury news on Monday, as veteran defenseman Tyler Myers returned to the ice just days after suffering what initially appeared to be a serious lower-body injury.
Myers, 34, left the game against the Philadelphia Flyers after a collision with winger Joel Farabee, remaining on the ice for several moments while team trainers attended to him. He was eventually helped off the ice by teammates J.T. Miller and Derek Forbort, unable to put weight on his leg as he made his way to the dressing room.
Fortunately, it seems the worst-case scenario has been avoided, as the 6-foot-8 “Chaos Giraffe” has already rejoined his teammates on the ice.
The Vancouver Canucks received encouraging injury news on Monday, as veteran defenseman Tyler Myers returned to the ice just days after what appeared to be a serious lower-body injury.
Myers, 34, exited the game against the Philadelphia Flyers following a collision with winger Joel Farabee, remaining down on the ice while team trainers assessed him. He was helped off by teammates J.T. Miller and Derek Forbort, unable to put weight on his leg as he made his way to the dressing room.
Fortunately, it seems the worst-case scenario has been avoided, with the 6-foot-8 “Chaos Giraffe” already skating with his teammates.
While it’s still uncertain when Myers will return to the lineup during this road trip, it’s a positive sign for fans, players, and coaches to see him back on the ice looking fit. In the meantime, other right-shot defensemen like Vincent Desharnais and Noah Juulsen will step up to fill the gap on the bottom defensive pairings.
The Canucks have upcoming away games against Tampa Bay, Florida, Philadelphia, and Chicago over the next eight days before returning home to host Pittsburgh on October 26. It’s likely Myers will be back in action soon.
