LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Tyler Myers will be bringing some hardware back to Buffalo after winning the Calder Trophy as the NHL's rookie of the year on Wednesday.

The hulking Sabres defenceman beat out Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard and Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene in voting conducted by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.

Myers finished third in rookie scoring with 48 points and led the Sabres in ice time.

He is the first defenceman to win the award since Barret Jackman in 2003.

“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
