Tyler Myers has just three points in his 19 games this season, a disappointing start to be sure, particularly when compared to a 36-point total during the 2017-18 campaign. His play a year ago helped solidify a Winnipeg Jets’ defensive unit that dealt with injuries to Jacob Trouba, Ben Chiarot, Dmitri Kulikov and Tobias Enstrom.
Point production isn’t usually something I lean on to evaluate defencemen unless those players are expected to create offence. But with Myers, it’s more than just a lack of points; the eye test indicates he’s been struggling in a big way.
