The Edmonton Oilers are set to face a challenging week as forward Zach Hyman has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. Coach Jay Woodcroft has confirmed that Hyman will miss another week due to a lower-body injury that has sidelined him since last week. The absence of Hyman, known for his tenacity and scoring ability, poses a significant blow to the Oilers’ lineup as he has been a key contributor this season.
Hyman's injury comes at a crucial time for the Oilers, who are looking to secure their spot in the playoffs. His work ethic and determination on the ice are qualities that Coach Woodcroft appreciates, making his absence felt both in the locker room and during games. The team will need to step up and fill the gap left by Hyman to maintain their momentum in the competitive Western Conference.
In the meantime, the Oilers are counting on other players to rise to the occasion. As they prepare for their upcoming match against the Kings, the hope remains that Hyman will be able to return and help propel the Oilers into the postseason. For now, the team is focusing on their game strategy while keeping a close eye on Hyman's recovery progress.
