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: Won't play versus Wild
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will be out of action against Minnesota on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Hyman will miss out Thursday while mired in a six-game goal drought during which he put 15 shots on net. After putting up 77 points in 80 regular-season games last year, Hyman is struggling to produce at that level in 2024-25 and is currently on pace to barely break the 30-point threshold. An extended injury absence certainly won't improve his chances of stringing together points.

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.

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: Sets record for era
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 6.
Hyman's goal was his 16th of the playoffs, giving him the record for the most goals in a single postseason in the salary-cap era. He's picked up four points over his last three games after going scoreless in the first three contests of the Stanley Cup Finals. He's at 22 points, 88 shots on net, 52 hits and a plus-12 rating through 24 appearances.

Hyman scored a goal on three shots, logged four hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Panthers in Game 5.
Hyman deflected in an Evan Bouchard shot early in the second period. This was Hyman's first goal during the Stanley Cup Finals, but he's scored 15 times and added six assists over 23 playoff contests this year. The winger has added 87 shots on net, 50 hits and a plus-11 rating as a fixture on the Oilers' top line.

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.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Pots power-play goal
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal on three shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.
Hyman finished the Western Conference Finlas with three goals and two assists over six games. He continues to be a force on the top line and first power-play unit with 14 goals, 18 points and 76 shots on net through 18 playoff contests. Five of Hyman's goals have come with the man advantage.
