Oilers’ Hyman says his right wrist was dislocated late last round, knocking him out of the playoffs WSOC TV [Video]

EDMONTON, Alberta — (AP) — Zach Hyman said Wednesday his right wrist got dislocated late last round, an injury that is sidelining one of the Edmonton Oilers’ most valuable forwards for the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.

Hyman sported a brace on his right arm after undergoing surgery last week to repair the damage caused by a hit from Dallas’ Mason Marchment in Game 4 of the Western Conference final.

“I knew it wasn’t good when I got hit,” Hyman said. “Right away, I just felt my wrist kind of go on me. … Quickly realized when I saw the doctors it’s something that needed surgery and something that I wasn’t going to be able to play through.”

Hyman memorably said after the Oilers’ Game 7 loss to Florida last year that he believed they would be back in the final. In a cruel twist of fate, his teammates are, but the 33-year-old winger is not able to play in the series.
