Lightning's Philippe Myers: Up with Lightning
Myers was summoned by the Lightning on Thursday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Myers had a goal and three points in 11 regular-season games with Tampa Bay. At the AHL level, he contributed eight goals and 29 points in 52 contests with Syracuse in 2022-23. Myers will serve as a healthy scratch Thursday versus Toronto, but his presence on the roster will provide the Lightning with some injury insurance as the postseason progresses.

Lightning's Philippe Myers: Placed on waivers Friday
Myers has been placed on waivers Friday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Myers has been a healthy scratch in the Lightning's last four games. He has a goal and two assists in 11 games this season. The Lightning need room under the salary cap in order to activate Anthony Cirelli (shoulder) from long-term injured reserve, and this would be just one of the moves necessary.

Lightning's Philippe Myers: Gets first point with new team
Myers produced an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
Myers' first assist as a member of the Lightning was the secondary helper on Nikita Kucherov's tally in the first period. Through six contests, Myers has added eight shots on net, 15 hits, four PIM, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in a third-pairing role. The 25-year-old was a healthy scratch in a seven-defensemen lineup Tuesday, so he's far from a lock to play on a regular basis.

Lightning's Philippe Myers: Sitting out Tuesday
Myers (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday against Philadelphia, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Lightning's Philippe Myers: Placed on waivers
Myers was placed on waivers for cap purposes Sunday, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.
Myers will still likely slot into Tampa Bay's third pairing on Opening Night as the Lightning try to manage their cap space going into the season. The 25-year-old defenseman signed a one-year deal with Tampa this offseason after logging a goal and three assists in 27 games with Nashville last season.

Lightning's Philippe Myers: Snags one-year extension
Myers signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract extension with the Lightning on Friday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.
Myers drew into 27 games with the Predators last season, picking up four points and a plus-12 rating while averaging 14:53 of ice time. The 25-year-old defender will likely produce at a similar rate while moving in and out of the lineup as a rotational, bottom-pairing option for Tampa Bay in 2022-23.

Myers and Grant Mismash were acquired by Tampa Bay in a trade with Nashville for Ryan McDonagh on Sunday.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Recalled from minors
Myers was promoted from AHL Toronto on Monday.
Myers has played in 27 games for the Predators this season in which he generated one goal, three assists and 50 hits while averaging just 14:53 of ice time. Despite the promotion, the 25-year-old blueliner shouldn't be expected to hit the ice during the playoffs unless the Preds suffer multiple injuries among their defensemen.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Loaned to AHL Toronto
Myers was loaned to AHL Toronto on Wednesday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
Myers was waived Saturday and went unclaimed, but he'll report to the Marlies rather than AHL Milwaukee. Vingan adds this is not related to the Maple Leafs' trade of Alex Biega to the Predators on Monday -- this is likely just to earn Myers some extra playing time.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Hits waivers
Myers was placed on waivers Saturday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
Myers has been a healthy scratch for five of the Predators' last seven games, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The 25-year-old defender has 142 games of NHL experience under his belt, so there's a chance he'll get claimed by another organization.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Watches from press box again
Myers was a healthy scratch for Saturday's 8-0 win over the Sharks.
Myers has suited up for less than half of the Preds' games this season (25 of 55), making him an unreliable fantasy option, even in the deepest of formats. He has just three assists to his credit this season.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Produces apple in loss
Myers notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Blues.
Myers helped out on Yakov Trenin's third-period tally. The 24-year-old Myers has seen only inconsistent playing time this season, but he should be a fixture on the third pairing at least until Mattias Ekholm clears the COVID-19 protocols. Myers has produced just two assists with 21 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-5 rating in 18 appearances in 2021-22.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Gets physical in loss
Myers served four hits in a 4-1 loss to the Sabres on Thursday.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Puts up assist in win
Myers logged an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Myers' shot attempt was directed in by Yakov Trenin at 7:01 of the second period. The helper was Myers' first point in 13 appearances this season. He's added 16 shots on net, 20 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. The Canadian blueliner will likely be the defenseman to exit the lineup when Dante Fabbro clears the COVID-19 protocols.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Benched Saturday
Myers sat out Saturday's game against the Canadiens as a healthy scratch.
Myers has not been used much this season as the Preds are running with a pretty stacked -- and healthy -- blue line at the moment. Myers has played in just eight games so far this season, and will continue to battle for ice time on the team's third defensive pairing. This gives him little to no fantasy value in most formats.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Traded to Predators
Myers and Nolan Patrick were traded by the Flyers to Nashville in exchange for Ryan Ellis on Saturday. Patrick was subsequently traded to Vegas in exchange for Cody Glass, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Myers should slot in as a solid bottom-four option for the Predators in 2021-22. The 24-year-old blueliner picked up 11 points, 77 shots and 69 hits while averaging 18:52 of ice time through 44 appearances with Philadelphia in 2020-21.
