Zach Hyman shows remarkable resilience, scores goal injured
Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman is showing true toughness tonight against the Boston Bruins, putting the Oil on the board with his first goal since fracturing his nose.
At 8:44 in the second period, Zach Hyman received a lucky bounce off the boards, wasting no time by ripping home the first goal of the night past goaltender Jeremy Swagman.
This marks Hyman's 8th goal in last seven games to pull Oilers within one. Leon Draisaitl also extends his point streak to seven games and 16 points.
Although it wasn't necessarily the prettiest goal in the world, it was crucial in helping the Oilers fight their way back into the game.
The Edmonton Oilers are currently in the middle frame against the Boston Bruins, and Oilers Ace Zach Hyman is showing that even with a bulky, horrendous looking bubble mask, you can still make an impact.
During a freak incident last game, Zach Hyman took a Bouch-Bomb to the face, resulting in a broken nose.
Zach Hyman immediately rushed down the tunnel with a significant amount of blood pouring from his face.
Prior the game, Zach Hyman opened up about how painful his nose fracture has been.
»I've broke my nose a bunch of times. This one was a little worse process You shove gauze up there, the hardest part is you can't breathe dealt with that, got it fixed up the next day, missed practice, but feeling good.»

I think it's safe to say Oilers fans are happy Zach Hyman is playing tonight -- even with a bubble mask.
