Oilers’ Hyman to miss next three games, won’t travel on road trip

Hyman missed Saturday’s loss to the Vegas Golden Knights with an undisclosed injury.

After the game, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch announced that the forward will not travel with the team on its upcoming three-game road trip.

Knoblauch added that Hyman could return for the Oilers’ second-last game of the season in Edmonton against the Colorado Avalanche, and at worst, will return for their regular-season finale against the Vancouver Canucks on April 16.

Hyman, 33, has 31 goals and 20 assists in 57 games for Edmonton this season.

Despite their loss to Vegas on Saturday, the Oilers remain tied with the Anaheim Ducks atop the Pacific Division with 87 points.

The third-place Golden Knights are now just one point back of both teams thanks to Saturday’s victory.
