Zach Hyman demonstrates Team Canada's big blunder
Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman is on an absolute heater right now, scoring another crucial goal against the San Jose Sharks yesterday.
The Edmonton Oilers are facing off against the Ottawa Senators tonight, and forward Zach Hyman has notched 2 goals since fracturing his nose.
Despite the serious Nature of his injury, it hasn't hindered his ability to contribute offensively.
Since being left off Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off roster, the Oilers forward has nine goals in eight games, including goals in five straight games. Prior to that, he was really slumping, as he only had three goals in his first 20 games to start the campaign. He's now up to 12 goals on the season.
I'm sure Canada's management staff is really regretting their decision to leave him off the roster, and Hyman is making them look foolish. In a short tournament, having instant chemistry is incredibly important. That's why the duo of Cale Makar and Devon Toews, and Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore were easy selections for Team Canada. So, why not have McDavid's linemate for the past three seasons on the team? That doesn't make sense, especially considering Hyman scored 54 goals last season alongside the Oilers' captain. Hyman is proving everyone wrong and that's great to see.
-The Hockey Writersq Zach Hyman recently learned he didn't make the 4 Nations-Face off Team Canada roster, and it seems he's sending a clear message to GM Don Sweeny -- you should have chosen picked me.
Zach Hyman and the Edmonton Oilers will look to keep the ball rolling against the Ottawa Senators, who are also on the tail-end of a back-to-back victory.
