Tyler Myers has 'plateaued' in recovery from back injury

Tyler Myers' recovery from an injured back meant a return to skating last week, but the towering defenseman hasn't made advancements since.

Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice told reporters Wednesday that Myers has "plateaued" in his recovery, and will be held out of the lineup until he takes the necessary steps in his progression.

Originally deemed day to day, Myers has now missed more than a month of action, and 16 games.

Myers averaged a little more than 22 minutes nightly and chipped in with five points before departing with his injury.
