Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman suffered a dislocated wrist and tore some ligaments during the Western Conference final against the Dallas Stars.
The Oilers forward spoke to reporters on Wednesday sporting a cast on his right wrist and says that he hopes to be ready for training camp but couldn’t say for certain.
Hyman was hurt midway through Game 4 when he took a hit from Stars forward Mason Marchment in the neutral zone. Hyman dropped his stick and made a beeline for the locker room favouring his right arm.
Hyman leads the playoffs with 111 hits and ranked fifth on the Oilers with 11 points (five goals, six assists) in 15 games. He scored 54 goals last season and 16 during Edmonton’s run to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.
