Myers continues to progress so staying on the ice should be a good sign. The big man has been out since November 19th.

Cold Streak
Tyler Myers has been pretty quiet so far. The Sabres' big defenseman has no goals and two assists in nine games, not the numbers of an offensive catalyst.
While offseason acquisitions Christian Ehrhoff and Robyn Regehr vastly improved the Sabres blue line, it adversely affected Myers' offensive production. Expect the 6'8" Texas native to come closer to 40 points than 50 when the season is over.
The Sabres and defenseman Tyler Myers wrapped up their contract extension talks this morning, with the sides agreeing to a seven-year deal. Financial details were not immediately available.
With an improved supporting cast, Myers should be preparing for a career year. Look for his current average of 11 goals and 43 points to be his absolute floor.
