11 Zach Hyman LW

Maple Leafs' Zach Hyman: Lights lamp twice against Jackets

He came into the night with only one goal in 20 games and no points at all in his last five, but Hyman snapped his slump in impressive fashion. He'll have a decent fantasy floor in season-long leagues as long as he remains on a line with John Tavares and Mitch Marner, but Hyman's inconsistency makes him a better tournament play in DFS.

Maple Leafs' Zach Hyman: Six assists thus far

That shouldn't surprise you, given that Hyman is skating on a line with John Tavares and Mitch Marner. The only issue for his fantasy value is that he doesn't play on the power play at all. Of course, that was the case last year, and he still managed 15 goals and 25 assists.

Maple Leafs' Zach Hyman: Set for top-line duty

It appears that a hip injury won't get in the way of Hyman's availability to start the 2018-19 campaign. He'll line up with John Tavares and Mitch Marner on the top unit. Last season, he recorded 15 goals, 25 points and a plus-22 rating over a full season, but he's typically deployed in shorthanded situations and not the power play.

Maple Leafs' Zach Hyman: Sporting non-contact sweater

Considering he has yet to be cleared for contact, it seems unlikely Hyman will be in the lineup for the last two preseason contests, instead targeting an Opening Night return to the lineup. Assuming he can get healthy, the winger is slated to play alongside John Tavares on the Leafs' "second" line, which should set the 26-year-old up to hit the 40-point mark again this year.

Maple Leafs' Zach Hyman: Skates prior to practice

Hyman -- who won't be in the lineup Wednesday against Montreal -- could still make an appearance Friday or Saturday versus Detroit. Getting back on the ice is a good step in the winger's recovery and it appears he should be ready in time for Opening Night against Montreal on Oct. 3.
