With Myers returning to the Crunch, it could be an indication that Erik Cernak (upper body) will be ready to face the Blackhawks on Thursday, though Myers could also be brought back up to the big club prior to that contest.

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
Rotowire
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.

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.

Predators' Philippe Myers: Benched Saturday
Rotowire
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.
