Myers hadn't produced a point since the season opener. | Insight: The 6-foot-8 Myers won the Calder Trophy when he had 11 goals, 48 points, 104 SOG and a plus-13 in his rookie season, but he has followed it up with 37 points in 2010-11 and 23 points in 55 games last season. Even with a plus-2 Friday, he still stands at a minus-7 and needs to string a couple of games like Friday's together for fantasy owners to trust him. | | |

Yahoo Sports | Insight: Myers is a classic example of a player in a sophomore slump this season. After an impressive 48-point rookie season, he has fallen to 33 points (10g-23a) with the season nearly completed. He may be a solid value grab in next season's drafts. | | |

Yahoo Sports | Insight: Myers' goal was his fifth of the season. Nowhere are his struggles more evident than in his (-10) ranking entering this game.

Hopefully this game will help the big guy get his confidence back. | | |
