CHICAGO — Armchair critics whipped Tyler Myers through the first 20 games of the NHL season for some undeniably erratic defensive play and a lack of meaningful participation in the Winnipeg Jets' offensive scheme.

Coming off an exceptional, bounce-back 2017-18 campaign, the towering 10-year defenceman struggled out of the gate in early October while playing the right side on the third pairing, with Joe Morrow and Dmitry Kulikov rotating on the left.

At the quarter pole, Myers had little to show for his effort — just a goal and two assists, along with a minus-2 and some highly visible gaffes in and around the Jets net.
