As injuries hit the top of Edmonton Oilers' roster, opportunity knocks

On Saturday, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch announced impact winger Zach Hyman would be out of the lineup for an uncertain amount of time. The expectation is five to 14 days in order to be ready for the playoffs. The hilariously vague timeline aside, this isn’t good news for Oilers fans. Already missing elite centre Leon Draisaitl, no team can properly address that kind of attrition and come close to being whole as a roster.On the other hand, it does offer a real opportunity for other wingers on the roster.Advertisement
