The Edmonton Oilers will be without forward Zach Hyman for Saturday's clash with the Vegas Golden Knights (8 p.m. MT / 10 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+).
Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters that Hyman will miss the contest with an undisclosed injury, but added that the winger would be in the lineup if it were a playoff game.
Additionally, star centre Leon Draisaitl is expected to resume skating in the coming days, but won't travel with the team for its final road trip of the regular season.
Hyman, 33, has 31 goals and 20 assists in 57 games for Edmonton this season.
He played 16:40 in the Oilers' 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
Draisaitl's return to the ice is a good sign for Edmonton as it gears up for the post-season.
The 30-year-old has been out since March 15 with a lower-body injury.
Draisaitl had 35 goals and 62 assists in 65 games before hitting the injured reserve.
Edmonton enters Saturday's contest against Vegas tied with the Anaheim Ducks atop the Pacific Division. The Oilers also sit three points ahead of the Golden Knights in the standings.
