Zach Hyman’s Injury Update

Hyman has been sidelined since May 27, when he dislocated his wrist during Game 4 of the Western Conference Final against the Dallas Stars. Knoblauch mentioned that the player is close to returning.

  • Hyman could make his return against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday.
  • He is also likely to join the team on their seven-game road trip next week.

Last season, Hyman recorded 44 points, including 27 goals and 17 assists, over 73 regular-season games. He has been practicing with the team since October 22, further indicating his readiness.
