Oilers' Zach Hyman: Opens season on LTIR

Hyman (wrist) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, according to PuckPedia.

Hyman won't be available during the first month of the 2025-26 season, as he's expected to join the team in early November. Trent Frederic is set to be the biggest beneficiary of Hyman's absence, as the former is slated to the start the year on the top line next to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
