The Edmonton Oilers will be without forward Zach Hyman for their upcoming three-game road trip due to an undisclosed injury. Coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed that Hyman missed the recent match against the Vegas Golden Knights as a result of this injury.
Hyman’s Situation and Expected Return
Hyman’s absence is significant as he has been a key player for the Oilers this season. Currently, he boasts an impressive record of 31 goals and 20 assists in 57 games. Coach Knoblauch mentioned that Hyman might return for the second-to-last game of the season against the Colorado Avalanche in Edmonton. The latest possible return date would be the regular-season finale against the Vancouver Canucks on April 16.
Oilers’ Competitive Standing
Despite Hyman’s injury and their recent loss to the Golden Knights, the Oilers are still in a strong position in the Pacific Division. They are tied with the Anaheim Ducks, each with 87 points. The Golden Knights are close behind, trailing by just one point following their victory against the Oilers.
