Hyman won't be available during the first month of the 2025-26 season, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-head-coach-kris-knoblauch-announces-an-expected-return-date-for-zach-hyman' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>but he is expected to join the team in early November.</a> Now that Hyman is on LTIR, Edmonton will be able to exceed the cap by roughly $3.8 million. Trent Frederic is set to be the biggest beneficiary of Hyman's absence, as the former Bruins player is slated to start the year on the top line next to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, which is a big task for him. <h3>Mattias Janmark Will Miss 1 to 2 Weeks as he Deals with 2 Injuries</h3> It was also confirmed that Mattias Janmark is still out with an injury. I'm not sure what the actual term will be. He's probably out for 1-2 weeks, that's not probably not long-term injury reserve, Knoblauch said. The Oilers did an MRI on Janmark and realized that there were two injuries that he was dealing with. Knoblauch surprisingly called that good news because it meant the first issue wasn't nagging. The fact that you have a new injury was actually good news for us, rather than something he was going to have to play with for the season. - Kris Knoblauch Fans eager to watch Howard play for the Oilers will need a little more patience, but based on all the injuries the team is dealing with, it's very likely he gets his chance soon enough.
