Edmonton Oilers\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zach Hyman<\/a> (undisclosed) and could miss up to two weeks, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said before their game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday (10 p.m. ET; CBC, SN, SCRIPPS). Hyman, a forward, had been playing through a lingering injury, including 16:40 of a 3-1 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday. \u201cIf this was a playoff game, he\u2019d be playing,\u201d Knoblauch said after the morning skate. \u201cWe feel it\u2019s best to give him some rest and let him be healthy and not aggravate anything. A lot of our players are going through something, but it\u2019s something that wasn\u2019t getting better and we wanted to give him some rest and can heal and then he can be 100 percent for the playoffs. Whether that\u2019s five days or 14 days, something in that window, then we should be good.\u201d Hyman has 51 points (31 goals, 20 assists) in 57 games. \u2026 Knoblauch also said forward Leon Draisaitl<\/a>\u00a0(lower body) is expected to start skating next week while Edmonton is on a three-game road trip. Draisaitl was injured during a 3-1 win against the Nashville Predators on March 15 and was expected to be out for the remainder of the regular season. He has 97 points (35 goals, 62 assists) in 65 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edmonton Oilers\u00a0 Zach Hyman (undisclosed) and could miss up to two weeks, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said before…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-564681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
