Over the course of the past few weeks (and days), the Oilers have lost four important pieces. <\/p>\n<p>Edmonton has been without Leon Draisaitl, but the team has gone 7-3-1 with him. Zach Hyman was then temporarily shut down due to a nagging issue that the Oilers wanted to allow some rest time for. Then on Wednesday, the Oilers lost both goaltender Connor Ingram and defensive forward Jason Dickinson during the game versus the San Jose Sharks. <\/p>\n<p>Bowman offered an update on all four. He said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, the injuries last night\u2014I don\u2019t have an update today. I don\u2019t think either one of them are serious; at least if they were, I think I probably would have heard that by now. So I think it\u2019s probably more of a minor thing for both guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s certainly good news on both, and potentially surprising news on Dickinson. Given how much he needed help off the ice, it looked bad. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Hyman-Dickinson-Draisaitl-Oilers.jpg\" alt=\"Hyman Dickinson Draisaitl Oilers\" class=\"wp-image-114394\"  \/>Hyman Dickinson Draisaitl Oilers<\/p>\n<p>What About Draisaitl and Hyman?<\/p>\n<p>Bowman continued: \u201cAs far as Leon goes, I think we\u2019ll get a better feel for where he\u2019s at when he\u2019s skating with our team, which hopefully will be when we get back to Edmonton over the next week. He\u2019s progressing well. Like I said from the beginning, nothing has changed from our original prognosis. We expect him back at the beginning of the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to Hyman, the Oilers are just being cautious. \u201cThis is probably a little bit more of a maintenance issue, but it was something that was bothering him, and we felt we wanted to do what we could to give him the best chance of being as healthy as possible for the playoffs.\u201d He added, \u201cThat was why he had to miss these games, but he\u2019s ready to go, and I expect that\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next: <a href=\"https:\/\/nhltradetalk.com\/evan-bouchard-joins-elite-company-strengthens-case-for-norris-trophy-recognition\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Evan Bouchard Joins Elite Company, Strengthens Case for Norris Trophy Recognition<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from NHL Trade Talk<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/NHLTradeTalkweblogo4.png\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"**Update: Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said after practice on Friday that Connor Ingram is feeling good&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":595814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,50808,100816,25908,448,82,62331],"class_list":{"0":"post-595813","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-connor-ingram","11":"tag-jason-dickinson","12":"tag-leon-draisaitl","13":"tag-nhl","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-zach-hyman"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/595814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
