Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on two shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and doled out seven hits in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Kings in Game 6.
Hyman earned his second multi-point effort of the playoffs during a frenetic first period. He's collected two goals, three assists, 14 shots on net, 43 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over six playoff contests.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Dishes pair of assists
Rotowire
Hyman logged two assists, three shots on goal and five hits in Friday's 7-4 win over the Kings in Game 3.
Hyman has earned a goal, two assists, six shots on net, 14 hits and an even plus-minus rating over three playoff contests. The 32-year-old winger set up goals by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid. As long as Hyman's in a top-six role, he should have a good chance to be productive on offense. He closed the regular season on a seven-game skid followed by a three-game injury absence, but he's looked pretty close to 100 percent in the postseason.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores in comeback effort
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal, added six hits and logged two PIM in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Kings in Game 1.
Hyman brought the Oilers within a goal with 2:04 left in the third period, and Connor McDavid tied it at 5-5 just 36 seconds later. The Oilers' comeback push ended up being for naught, as the Kings won on a Phillip Danault goal with 42 seconds left in regulation. In any case, it was good to see Hyman healthy enough to play after he missed the last three games of the regular season. The 32-year-old winger should feature in a top-six role and see power-play time after racking up 27 goals and 44 points over 73 regular-season contests.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) is projected to miss Wednesday's game versus the Sharks.
Hyman unsurprisingly won't be in the lineup in a regular-season finale with no stakes. It's unclear if he'll play Game 1 versus the Kings in the first round, but getting him back in a top-six role would be a boost for an Oilers lineup that has been plagued by injuries lately.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Remains sidelined against LA
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will not be an option versus the Kings on Monday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
Hyman will miss his second straight game due to his undisclosed injury, but hasn't been ruled out for the season finale versus San Jose on Wednesday. Considering there is a chance that Hyman plays in that contest, the 32-year-old winger should be expected to return no later than Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Prior to his absence, he went seven games without a point.

Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will not play Sunday against the Jets.
After leaving Friday's game versus San Jose with an injury, Hyman will remain sidelined Sunday. The severity of the injury is still unclear, though Edmonton figures to play it safe with the 32-year-old winger ahead of the postseason. Hyman has 27 goals and 44 points in 73 games this year.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Exits Friday's contest
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) won't return to Friday's game versus the Sharks, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Hyman was hurt in the second period, but the nature and severity of his injury are unknown. The Oilers have nearly secured their playoff spot, so they're taking a cautious approach with most injuries, and there have been plenty of them over the last couple of weeks. It's unclear if Hyman will be healthy enough to suit up Sunday in Winnipeg -- if not, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) could be an option if he recovers in time.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Adds power-play helper
Rotowire
Hyman logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
Hyman has five points over his last three games, but this was his first power-play point since Feb. 5 versus the Blackhawks. The 32-year-old winger will handle more offensive responsibilities while Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) are out of the lineup. Hyman's game isn't solely dependent on linemates but benefits from playing alongside a shoot-first player. He gets to the front of the net and cleans up scraps efficiently. For the season, he has 42 points (12 on the power play), 186 shots on net, 50 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 64 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Reaches 25-goal mark
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on five shots, doled out three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Hyman has four points, 13 shots and a plus-6 rating over two contests since he moved past an undisclosed injury that cost him one game. The 32-year-old winger could be leaned on more if Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body) are out for Saturday's game versus the Kraken. Hyman is up to 25 goals, 41 points, 184 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-16 rating across 63 appearances, but that's less than half of his 54-goal showing in the 2023-24 regular season as he's been hit hard by regression this year.

The winger is now at 24 goals, 40 points, 178 shots on net, 46 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 62 appearances.

Rotowire
Hyman scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Hyman had the Oilers' first two goals of the game and also helped out on Connor McDavid's tally in the second period. This was Hyman's first multi-point effort since Jan. 23 versus the Canucks.

For the season, he has 22 goals, 37 points, 166 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances. He should return decent offense as long as he stays alongside McDavid at even strength.

Hyman was limited to three goals and an assist over eight contests in February.
