Myers dinged, Ennis effective as selection nears

A night after seeing defensive partner Tyler Cuma (MIN) go down to a knee injury, Tyler Myers and fellow WHL dman Colten Teubert (LAK) found themselves shaking off bumps of their own as Team Red cruised to a 7-2 White at the Canadian Selection camp in Gatineau on Saturday. Myers, who switched teams after previously skating with White, assisted on a Stefan Della Rovere (WAS) power play goal to open scoring in the first period. Myers later left the ice after bumping his knee hard into the boards, but should be OK for Sunday's finale at 6:00. After a goal and an assist on Friday, Tyler Ennis of Medicine Hat got back on the sheet with a helper on a very pretty goal by Wisconsin defenseman Brendan Smith (DET). Jamie Benn (DAL) and Evander Kane ('09) also potted pairs to lead Red.
