Myers did not take the ice for the pregame warmup as blue-liner Andre Benoit took his place, according to Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News.
Myers was hit in the hand by an Alex Ovechkin shot Saturday in the Sabres' 2-1 victory.
The #Sabres say Myers is out with "lower body". It's his hand. He was low when he blocked the shot. Lindy woulda called it "middle body"
