Zach Hyman Provides An Injury Update Ahead of Training Camp
Hyman was hesitant to set a specific timeline for his return to game action as he knows specific timelines can lead to disappointment.

Even though Hyman would not set an exact timeline it seems healing is going well GM Stan Bowman is optimistic that Hyman will not miss any time to begin the regular season.
As the on-ice portion of training camp kicks off it will remain to be seen if Hyman joins the main group at all or continues skating on his own.
