Hyman logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Kraken.
Hyman has five points over his last three games, but this was his first power-play point since Feb. 5 versus the Blackhawks. The 32-year-old winger will handle more offensive responsibilities while Connor McDavid (lower body) and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) are out of the lineup. Hyman's game isn't solely dependent on linemates but benefits from playing alongside a shoot-first player. He gets to the front of the net and cleans up scraps efficiently. For the season, he has 42 points (12 on the power play), 186 shots on net, 50 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 64 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Reaches 25-goal mark
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on five shots, doled out three hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.
Hyman has four points, 13 shots and a plus-6 rating over two contests since he moved past an undisclosed injury that cost him one game. The 32-year-old winger could be leaned on more if Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) and Connor McDavid (lower body) are out for Saturday's game versus the Kraken. Hyman is up to 25 goals, 41 points, 184 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-16 rating across 63 appearances, but that's less than half of his 54-goal showing in the 2023-24 regular season as he's been hit hard by regression this year.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Dominant in return to lineup
Rotowire
Hyman scored twice on seven shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Utah.
Hyman scored in the first and second periods before setting up a Mattias Janmark tally in the third. This was after Hyman was limited to three points over his previous seven games before missing one due to an undisclosed injury. The winger is now at 24 goals, 40 points, 178 shots on net, 46 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 62 appearances. The Oilers are pretty comfortably in a playoff spot, so don't be surprised if they play it safe regarding injuries, as they can afford to give players rest if needed.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will not be available Sunday against the Rangers.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Game-time call Sunday
Rotowire
Hyman (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Rangers, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
Hyman was limited to a season-low 10:36 of ice time in Friday's win over the Islanders, and his availability remains uncertain Sunday. However, the veteran winger was a full participant in the morning skate, per Nugent-Bowman. Hyman has 22 goals and 37 points through 61 games this year.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Breaks out with three points
Rotowire
Hyman scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Stars.
Hyman had the Oilers' first two goals of the game and also helped out on Connor McDavid's tally in the second period. This was Hyman's first multi-point effort since Jan. 23 versus the Canucks. The 32-year-old winger had been limited to three goals and two assists over the previous 14 contests, and he's bounced between the first and third lines in that span. For the season, he has 22 goals, 37 points, 166 shots on net, 44 hits and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances. He should return decent offense as long as he stays alongside McDavid at even strength.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Reaches 20-goal mark
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.
Hyman was limited to three goals and an assist over eight contests in February. His tally Thursday got him to the 20-goal mark for the sixth time in seven years, though he's well behind the pace that saw him pot a career-best 54 markers in the 2023-24 regular season. Overall, Hyman has 34 points, 152 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-9 rating across 54 outings in 2024-25.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Slings helper Sunday
Rotowire
Hyman collected an assist while logging 16:40 of ice time during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.
Hyman's secondary assist on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' third-period tally gives him four goals and seven points in his last 10 games -- further proof that the 32-year-old's dismal production early in the season may be behind him. Hyman could use regular even-strength minutes alongside the likes of Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl to boost his fantasy appeal, but with 16 goals and 25 points in his last 32 games, Hyman generates enough offense on his own to be a serviceable asset in almost any format.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Nets game-winner in overtime
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Hyman's second tally in the last three games helped the Oilers avoid an embarrassing collapse after they blew a two-goal lead in the third period. The 32-year-old winger is up to 19 goals, 32 points (11 on the power play), 143 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 49 appearances this season. He's bounced around the lineup a fair amount lately, but he's usually been at his best when he's alongside Connor McDavid, as he was Wednesday.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Nets goal Saturday
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
The Oilers loaded up their top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl playing together. Corey Perry was listed with that trio initially, but Perry plays limited minutes, so Hyman still got some shifts in a prominent role as one of the Oilers' most trusted forwards. The goal was Hyman's third in seven contests against the Maple Leafs since he left them for the Oilers in 2021-22. For the season, the 32-year-old winger is at 18 goals, 13 helpers, 137 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-15 rating over 47 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Nabs helper Thursday
Rotowire
Hyman provided an assist, seven shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
Hyman continues to bounce between the first and third lines, though his ice time has remained fairly steady regardless of his role. It still adds some volatility to his offense -- he hasn't had a point streak longer than three games in January. The 32-year-old winger is up to 17 goals, 13 helpers, 134 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-14 rating over 46 appearances this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Steps up in win
Rotowire
Hyman scored twice on six shots, dished a power-play assist, went plus-2 and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
This was Hyman's best game of the season and the third time he's scored multiple goals. He had been held off the scoresheet over the previous three contests. The veteran winger is up to 17 tallies, 29 points, 122 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-13 rating over 43 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Tallies in win
Rotowire
Hyman scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.
Hyman got the Oilers on the board just 21 seconds after Marco Rossi gave the Wild a 2-0 lead. The 32-year-old Hyman has scored in two of the last three games and has five points over seven outings in January. The winger is up to 15 tallies, 26 points, 106 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-8 rating through 39 contests. Hyman's been back on the top line for a few games, so he's safe to have active in all fantasy formats.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores, returns to top line
Rotowire
Hyman scored a power-play goal on four shots, added three hits and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
The goal was the game-winner in the third period, but more importantly, Hyman was back on the first line after Connor Brown dropped back to the bottom six. Hyman's production didn't suffer much despite the recent third-line usage -- he has a goal and five assists over eight outings since the holiday break. Overall, the winger has 14 goals, 25 points (nine on the power play), 104 shots on net, 34 hits and a plus-7 rating through 37 appearances. If he can stick on the top line, Hyman is poised to have a strong second half while playing alongside Connor McDavid.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Settling into third-line role
Rotowire
Hyman notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Bruins.
Hyman had 10 goals and an assist over a nine-game span from Dec. 5-22. Across his last six games, he's picked up four assists without scoring a goal, and he's regularly been on the third line in that span, displaced from his usual top-line work by Connor Brown. The drop down the lineup hurts Hyman's fantasy value since it limits his even-strength usage and keeps him away from Connor McDavid. Hyman is at 13 goals, 10 assists, 97 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-9 rating, and he's still been decent but not as goal-dangerous without an all-world playmaker for a center, with due respect to Adam Henrique.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Provides helper in win
Rotowire
Hyman notched an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Hyman has gone four games without a goal, but he has an assist in three of them. He saw his eight-game point streak end in a 4-1 win over Utah on Tuesday before getting back on the scoresheet Friday. The winger was listed on the third line against the Ducks and was under 18 minutes of ice time for the third game in a row, but he continues to be a part of the top power-play unit, so his offense shouldn't suffer too much. Hyman has 13 goals, nine helpers, 92 shots on net, 30 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 33 outings this season.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Collects power-play assist
Rotowire
Hyman notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.
Hyman's point streak is up to eight games, a span in which he has seven goals and three assists. He's earned four of those points on the power play, where he continues to log time with the first unit. The Oilers struggled with the man advantage early on but are back to being a top-10 team in that regard, with a 23.7 percent success rate on the power play for the season. Hyman is up to 13 goals, eight helpers, eight power-play points, 86 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating over 31 appearances.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: NHL's best sniper in December
Rotowire
Hyman notched a goal Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.
It was Hyman's sixth goal on his current five-game goal streak and ninth in eight games (30 shots) in December. Those nine markers lead the NHL for the month. Hyman can't possibly keep this pace up, but he's far better than the three goals in 19 outings he put up to start the season. Maybe a 35-goal season is possible after all.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Heating up in December
Rotowire
Hyman generated a goal and an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.
Hyman jumpstarted the comeback for Edmonton by scoring his 11th goal of the season at 11:17 of the second period, and he set up Connor McDavid's game-tying goal in the final frame. Hyman added two shots, three hits, one takeaway and a plus-2 rating to round out an impactful fantasy performance. The right-shot winger seems to have found his game lately -- he's scored in four straight contests and produced eight goals and an assist through seven outings in December. Hyman had just three goals through the first two months of 2024-25, so his early-season struggles appear to be in the rearview. The 32-year-old has accounted for 11 goals (three game-winners), 17 points and a plus-7 rating through 27 appearances.
