Edmonton Oilers
Zach Hyman will not play against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday (10 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SNE, SNO, SNW, ALT2, KTVD) but could make his season debut next week, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said Friday. The forward has not played since dislocating his wrist during Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars on May 27 last season. “Whether he gets back in on Monday (against the Blue Jackets) or later on, on that (seven-game) road trip … we expect him back within one week,” Knoblauch said. Hyman had 44 points (27 goals, 17 assists) in 73 regular-season games last season. He has been practicing with the team since Oct. 22. … Knoblauch also said Mattias Janmark is expected to return “within the next couple of days.” The forward has yet to play this season because of an undisclosed injury.
