The loss of Myers is significant because he plays a critical role on both the penalty kill and at even strength. In Vancouver's first game of the season, Myers played 19:38, which included 1:52 of shorthanded time. Because of the injury, the Canucks will finish the game with just two right shots, barring any further injuries.
