Edmonton Oilers Lose Key Forward Zach Hyman To Injury In Game 4

After losing forward Connor Brown during Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals to an upper-body injury the Oilers have once again been hit with bad luck.

During the first period of Game 4, Zach Hyman collided with Dallas Stars forward Mason Marchment awkwardly.

After the collision, Hyman went to the locker room for a bit before returning for the end of the first period indicating that he would likely be okay for the rest of the game.

At the time, this was a huge sigh of relief for the Edmonton Oilers who have relied on Hyman to be a key contributor.

However, a new report from Elliotte Friedman during the intermission has indicated that Hyman will not return for the rest of the game.

During the intermission, Friedman confirmed live on the Sportsnet panel that Hyman would not return.

The collision itself did not look to be severe enough to keep Hyman out but clearly the injury suffered is more severe than it originally looked to be.

Hyman has been a catalyst for the Edmonton Oilers offense during the Stanley Cup Playoffs tallying 5 goals and 11 points in 14 postseason contests with the Oilers.

In his absence, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will be relied on even more heavily than before by Kris Knoblauch and the Oilers staff.

As more information is provided on Hyman's status going forward we will pass along all of the latest news.
