Overview

  • Hyman was clipped by Mason Marchment midway through the first period and skated directly to the locker room without on-ice evaluation.
  • The 32-year-old forward has tallied 11 playoff points and leads the NHL with 109 hits through 14 games.
  • His dynamic pairing with Connor McDavid has powered Edmonton’s top line throughout the postseason.
  • Losing Hyman also removes a key contributor from power play and penalty kill units and deepens forward depth issues after Connor Brown’s Game 3 injury.
  • Edmonton coaches will assess Hyman’s shoulder at intermission and again after the game before determining his availability for the conference final.
