Zach Hyman Facing Two-Week Absence With Undisclosed Injury

Zach Hyman is expected to miss at least two weeks and six games due to an undisclosed injury, per play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels. Hyman was initially ruled out for Thursday's rematch against Vancouver after logging 20:33 of ice time with three shots, two hits, and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's opener. With Hyman sidelined and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on IR, Max Jones will move into a top-six role until Hyman returns to his spot on Connor McDavid's wing.
