Oilers Lose Hyman vs. Knights; Draisaitl to Return Soon

The Edmonton Oilers will be without forward Zach Hyman for Saturday's clash with the Vegas Golden Knights, while star center Leon Draisaitl is expected to resume skating in the coming days.

Zach Hyman will miss Saturday's 8 p.m. MT / 10 p.m. ET game against the Vegas Golden Knights due to an undisclosed injury. The 33‑year‑old has 31 goals and 20 assists in 57 games this season.

Leon Draisaitl is expected to resume skating in the coming days after a lower‑body injury that sidelined him since March 15. The Oilers, tied with the Anaheim Ducks atop the Pacific Division, sit three points ahead of the Knights.
