Sabres’ Myers gets three-game suspension for check to head BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus’ head. Now, Myers will have a week to reconsider after being suspended three games without pay by the NHL on Monday. Following a hearing by phone with Myers, the league’s department of player safety ruled the fifth-year player unnecessarily extended and launched himself into making the hit along the boards during the third period of Buffalo’s 2-1 home win Saturday. It happened along the boards inside the Sabres’ zone, with Myers’ right shoulder catching Zubrus in the jaw. Myers was assessed a minor penalty. Zubrus was briefly shaken up but continued playing. The suspension cost Myers $84,615 in salary, and will begin with Buffalo’s home game against Carolina on Tuesday night. He’s eligible to return for a home game against Philadelphia on Jan. 14. Myers suggested his height — at 6-foot-8, he’s the NHL’s second-tallest player — played a factor in how he hit Zubrus. “That’s just one of the disadvantages of being as tall as I am. It just comes with the territory,” Myers said after practice but before the hearing was held.
