Zach Hyman Missing From Practice

There is concerning news for the Edmonton Oilers regarding one of their top 6 forwards. Zach Hyman was absent from today's practice, and it seems that he may have sustained an injury during a recent game and a hit from two games ago.

Notably, there were no signs of players practicing in different jerseys, indicating the absence of both the top 6 and bottom 6 players.

Hyman appears to have been targeted by Nic Hague and Brayden McNabb, who delivered multiple dirty hits during 2 different games.

Hague's hit seemed to attempt a knee-to-knee hit last game, while McNabb hit him from an unexpected angle 2 games ago.

Unfortunately, the referees were too preoccupied with managing the game during the playoffs to intervene and protect Hyman.

Game 4 is Thursday night, Vegas currently leads the series 2-1.
