Zach Hyman addresses recent health scare
After an unfortunate morning skate yesterday, Zach Hyman had to be sent home as a result of his illness.
As the game progressed, he started to feel worse and worse until he was completely out of the game with the brutal bug.
Due to this, he has missed out on the great win over the Vegas Golden Knights, in which the team won 5-4 in a shootout.
Despite missing their leading scorer in Hyman, who had 12 goals and ten assists in 20 games this season, the Oilers managed to do quite well.
During a pre-game interview conducted by the team ahead of today's game, Zach Hyman said that he felt well enough to take the trip to Winnipeg and that he was ready to enter the game.
"I feel great now & I'm excited to be back with the guys."

In light of Hyman's return, who will be the odd man out tonight? During Hyman's absence, Sam Gagner stepped up and provided the goods.
