BULLETIN: Myers will be healthy scratch tonight

November 14, 2011 - 11:58 AM

MONTREAL — Defenseman Tyler Myers will be a healthy scratch for the Sabres tonight against the Canadiens in the Bell Centre.

It will be the first time Myers has been a healthy scratch in his three-year career.

Myers was in the group of players that did not respond when Milan Lucic ran over Ryan Miller on Saturday night, but Myers' recent struggles on the blue line are the bigger reason he is not playing tonight.

Mike Weber will play in Myers' place.
