Hyman (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of a 5-2 win over Ottawa.
An awkward hit near the blue line caused Hyman to wince and move somewhat gingerly. It was almost as though he torqued something in his torso. We'll find out tomorrow or the next day. Vasily Podkolzin had already replaced Hyman on the top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and that will continue if Hyman can't go.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Sends power-play helper
Rotowire
Hyman logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.
Hyman had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games. The 32-year-old winger's inconsistent start to the year may have scared off some fantasy managers, but he's still seeing top-six minutes in an offense that's starting to find its groove. He's now at three goals, five helpers, 45 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 18 contests. Hyman might have been due for regression after shooting 18.6 percent last season, but he's better than the 6.7 percent conversion rate he's had in 2024-25.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Picks up two assists
Rotowire
Hyman notched two assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Canucks.
In Saturday's contest, Hyman set up goals by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid ( on the power play). Hyman's two multi-point efforts this season have come over the last four games. The winger is up to three goals, four assists, 38 shots on net, 16 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 15 outings this season. He started slow, but he's looking more like himself now, and his spot in a potentially dangerous offense makes Hyman a must-start in fantasy as long as he avoids another prolonged slump.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Cashes in on fortunate bounce
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal and added seven hits in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Hyman was able to read a bounce off the end boards and cash in for the Oilers' second tally. He's picked up four points over the last four games, with all three of his goals this season coming in that span. The winger is at five points, 36 shots on net, 16 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 14 contests. His early misfortune is starting to turn around, so Hyman should be capable of steady offense in a top-six role, especially once the Oilers solve their power-play problems.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Two points in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Flames.
Hyman deked around Dan Vladar and roofed a backhand from in close to restore the Oilers' lead at 10:10 of the third period. This was Hyman's second game in a row with a goal and his first multi-point effort of the season. Those are signs he's thawing out after an ice-cold start. The winger has four points, 33 shots on net, nine hits, eight PIM and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Pots goal in win
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Predators.
Hyman had the last goal of the game, which was his first tally this season. Both of his points have come over the last four contests. Hyman has added 30 shots on net, eight hits, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating. Given his shot volume is down only marginally compared to last year and his ice time remains steady, the 32-year-old winger should be capable of turning things around. That said, he'll likely be impacted by the absence of his regular center, Connor McDavid (ankle), who is out for 2-3 weeks.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Generates assist in win
Rotowire
Hyman logged an assist and six shots on goal in Friday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.
Hyman set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' goal 16 seconds into the third period. The helper was Hyman's first point in eight games this season. It's fair to say the winger has been vastly unlucky -- he has 23 shots on net but has yet to score, though some of that is regression from him shooting 18.6 percent during his 54-goal campaign in 2023-24. Hyman has maintained a top-line role and power-play time, and given the talent around him and his ability to play near the front of the net, he should get on track eventually.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Stuck on zero points
Rotowire
Hyman has not recorded a point over the Oilers' first six games.
Part of Hyman's slow start stems from the Oilers' shaky offense and unusual lack of power-play success. He's produced 14 shots on net, five hits, four PIM and a minus-1 rating, but the winger never went more than three games without a point during the regular season and playoffs in 2023-24. The good news is he's still averaging 19:42 of ice time per game, including 3:53 on the power play, so he remains in a position to turn things around. Just don't expect a repeat of last year's 54-goal regular season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Dishes pair of helpers
Rotowire
Hyman notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Panthers in Game 4.
Hyman helped out on second-period tallies by Connor McDavid and Darnell Nurse. The 32-year-old Hyman didn't have a point during the Stanley Cup Finals, as the Panthers had neutralized the Oilers' top players in the first three contests. However, they were all much better in Saturday's blowout victory. Hyman is up to 20 points, 84 shots on net, 47 hits and a plus-9 rating over 22 playoff outings. If the Oilers can gain traction on the power play, he should see an uptick in offense.

The winger is up to 12 goals, three helpers, 54 shots on net, 33 hits and a plus-8 rating through 13 playoff outings.
