Zach Hyman News

Hyman missed the first 19 games of the season but will play Wednesday vs. the Islanders. Hyman's return comes at a great time, as he'll slide in for Mitch Marner, who is out with a high-ankle sprain. Hyman likely won't have the same success with Marner out, but he'll still be with John Tavares on Wednesday. The 27-year-old set career-highs in goals (21) and points (41) in 71 games last year.

Hyman, who is expected to miss the first 12-to-15 games of the season, practiced with his teammates for the first time since undergoing knee surgery. If Hyman can make quick progress, he could return to the lineup by late-October.

Hyman underwent offseason knee surgery to repair a torn ACL and is expected to miss 12-15 games according to head coach Mike Babcock. With Hyman out to begin the season, Kasperi Kapanen is expected to skate on Tavares’ line and Ilya Mikheyev should make the opening night roster.

Hyman was a late scratch from Wednesday’s loss to the Blackhawks and is listed as a game-time decision for Friday’s game vs. the Flyers. Head coach Mike Babcock said he expects Hyman to play, but look for Patrick Marleau to play with John Tavares if he doesn’t.

Hyman was not on the ice this morning but head coach Mike Babcock said he thinks Hyman will play vs. the Lightning. Hyman has played well as of late, scoring five goals with two assists (seven points) in his last 10 games.

Hyman has missed the past eight games with a sprained left ankle but will return to the lineup on Thursday. Hyman, who has seven goals and eight assists (15 points) in 32 games this season, will skate on a line with John Tavares and Mitch Marner in his return to the lineup.

Hyman suffered an ankle injury in New Jersey and missed Thursday’s game. Head coach Mike Babcock told reporters post-game that Hyman tried to play through it but it is serious enough to keep him sidelined until at least early-January.

Hyman will miss Tuesday’s game in Carolina and Thursday’s game in Tampa Bay before being eligible to return Saturday in Florida. Hyman was given a five-minute interference penalty on the play and was forced to answer the bell against Matt Grzelcyk. You should see either William Nylander or Patrick Marleau move back into the top-6 with Hyman suspended.

Hyman was not on the ice for Monday’s practice session, but he is expected to return to his spot on the Maple Leafs’ top line on Tuesday. Hyman has scored goals in back-to-back games.

Hyman, 23, collected four goals and two assists in 16 games with the Maple Leafs.He heads back to the Marlies where he has 33 points (13G / 20A) in 54 games.

The 23-year-old was named the University of Michigan’s Athlete of the Year in his senior year (2014-15) while also being named a First Team All-American and a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. Hyman, who was acquired via trade from Florida in June 2015, was drafted by the Panthers in the 5th round (123rd overall) during the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.

Hyman, 22, is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, but is expected to get a deal done with the Maple Leafs. Hyman is a Toronto native and was a Hobey Baker finalist in the NCAA after scored 22 goals with 32 assists (54 points) in 37 games at the University of Michigan.
