Hyman scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.
Hyman got the Oilers on the board just 21 seconds after Marco Rossi gave the Wild a 2-0 lead. The 32-year-old Hyman has scored in two of the last three games and has five points over seven outings in January. The winger is up to 15 tallies, 26 points, 106 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-8 rating through 39 contests. Hyman's been back on the top line for a few games, so he's safe to have active in all fantasy formats.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores, returns to top line
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The goal was the game-winner in the third period, but more importantly, Hyman was back on the first line after Connor Brown dropped back to the bottom six. Hyman's production didn't suffer much despite the recent third-line usage -- he has a goal and five assists over eight outings since the holiday break. Overall, the winger has 14 goals, 25 points (nine on the power play), 104 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-7 rating through 37 appearances. If he can stick on the top line, Hyman is poised to have a strong second half while playing alongside Connor McDavid.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Settling into third-line role
Rotowire
Hyman notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Hyman had 10 goals and an assist over a nine-game span from Dec. 5-22. Across his last six games, he's picked up four assists without scoring a goal, and he's regularly been on the third line in that span, displaced from his usual top-line work by Connor Brown. The drop down the lineup hurts Hyman's fantasy value since it limits his even-strength usage and keeps him away from Connor McDavid. Hyman is at 13 goals, 10 assists, 97 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-9 rating, and he's still been decent but not as goal-dangerous without an all-world playmaker for a center, with due respect to Adam Henrique.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Provides helper in win
Rotowire
Hyman notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Hyman has gone four games without a goal, but he has an assist in three of them. He saw his eight-game point streak end in a 4-1 win over Utah on Tuesday before getting back on the scoresheet Friday. The winger was listed on the third line against the Ducks and was under 18 minutes of ice time for the third game in a row, but he continues to be a part of the top power-play unit, so his offense shouldn't suffer too much. Hyman has 13 goals, nine helpers, 92 shots on net, 30 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 33 outings this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Collects power-play assist
Rotowire
Hyman notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.
Hyman's point streak is up to eight games, a span in which he has seven goals and three assists. He's earned four of those points on the power play, where he continues to log time with the first unit. The Oilers struggled with the man advantage early on but are back to being a top-10 team in that regard, with a 23.7 percent success rate on the power play for the season. Hyman is up to 13 goals, eight helpers, eight power-play points, 86 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating over 31 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Tallies on power play Sunday
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Senators.
Hyman's scored in six straight games and eight of his last nine, tallying 10 goals with one assist and a plus-9 rating in that span. That's the kind of production fantasy managers expected when taking him with an early-round pick, but they had to be patient after the winger slumped early in 2024-25. He's back now, and he's at 13 goals, 19 points (six on the power play), 82 shots on net, 27 hits and a plus-9 rating through 29 outings overall.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: NHL's best sniper in December
Rotowire
Hyman notched a goal Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
It was Hyman's sixth goal on his current five-game goal streak and ninth in eight games (30 shots) in December. Those nine markers lead the NHL for the month. Hyman can't possibly keep this pace up, but he's far better than the three goals in 19 outings he put up to start the season. Maybe a 35-goal season is possible after all.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Heating up in December
Rotowire
Hyman generated a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Hyman jumpstarted the comeback for Edmonton by scoring his 11th goal of the season at 11:17 of the second period, and he set up Connor McDavid's game-tying goal in the final frame. Hyman added two shots, three hits, one takeaway and a plus-2 rating to round out an impactful fantasy performance. The right-shot winger seems to have found his game lately -- he's scored in four straight contests and produced eight goals and an assist through seven outings in December. Hyman had just three goals through the first two months of 2024-25, so his early-season struggles appear to be in the rearview. The 32-year-old has accounted for 11 goals (three game-winners), 17 points and a plus-7 rating through 27 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Two more tallies Monday
Rotowire
Hyman scored two goals on a team-high six shots on net in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Panthers.
The veteran winger has been locked in since returning from an undisclosed injury in early December. Hyman has found the back of the net in five of his last six games, collecting seven tallies in total during that stretch, and he's up to 10 goals and 15 points in 26 appearances this season. As long as Hyman remains on a line with Connor McDavid, who assisted on both his goals Monday, he'll be a fantasy asset.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores again Saturday
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Hyman has five goals over five games since he returned from an undisclosed injury. The Oilers have won all of those games -- getting Hyman's finishing touch on track after his absence appears to have done wonders for the team. He's now at eight goals, five helpers, 69 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-5 rating over 25 appearances this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Extends solid run
Rotowire
Hyman netted a power-play goal in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Wild.
Hyman missed five games between Nov. 21 and Dec. 3 due to an undisclosed injury, but the winger has been excellent since returning to the ice against the Blue Jackets on Dec. 5. The 32-year-old has four goals over four appearances since returning to game action, and two of those goals have come with the man advantage. He's up to seven goals and 12 points across 24 appearances this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Buries power-play goal
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal on six shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.
Hyman received a threaded pass from Connor McDavid and made no mistake, putting the Oilers ahead 3-0 at 14:37 of the second period. Hyman has three goals over two contests since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old winger is up to six tallies, 11 points (four on the power play), 62 shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-3 rating over 22 appearances. He continues to skate on the first line and top power-play unit, and his play since his return from injury is a good sign that his season is heading in the right direction following a troublesome start.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores two goals in return
Rotowire
Hyman scored twice on five shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Hyman missed the last five games due to an undisclosed injury. He returned with his first multi-goal effort of the campaign, and his first goals at all since Nov. 6. The 32-year-old winger is up to five tallies, 10 points, 56 shots on net, 19 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 21 appearances. A repeat of his 54-goal, 77-point regular season from 2023-24 is unlikely, but Hyman should be able to provide high-end offense now that the Oilers look to be past their struggles from earlier in the campaign.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Ready to rock
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Thursday versus Columbus, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Hyman will play on the top line alongside Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and will also see first power-play time. Hyman has struggled this season with only three goals and five assists over 20 contests after striking for a career-high 54 goals in 2023-24. Despite his slow start, he's still worth starting in most fantasy formats.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will not be an option for Tuesday's divisional showdown against the Golden Knights, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Hyman will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to the injury. The right-shot winger was reported as being 5-8 days away from a return to the lineup Nov. 25, so he could be an option for Thursday's game against Columbus if his timeline hasn't changed. Kasperi Kapanen will likely continue to fill a top-six role in place of Hyman.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Still not ready to play
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) remains 5-8 days away from returning to the lineup, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Monday.
Based on Hyman's timeline, he figures to miss the Oilers' next two contests at a minimum. Considering the 32-year-old winger has already missed a pair of contests due to his undisclosed injury, he could be a candidate for injured reserve if the team decides it needs the extra roster spot. With Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) also sidelined, the Oilers will likely need to bring a forward up from AHL Bakersfield. Drake Caggiula was sent down Saturday, but that's likely for cap savings during a five-day gap between games for the Oilers.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Likely out 4-7 days
Rotowire
Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Thursday that he expects Hyman (undisclosed) to miss 4-7 days, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Hyman had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wild, and he'll presumably miss Saturday's matchup against the Rangers as well. However, the Oilers have a sizable layoff before facing Utah on Nov. 29, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Hyman back on the ice late next week.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Does not play in third period
Rotowire
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 Wednesday 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.
