- Hyman was recovering from a wrist injury with Oilers updates in late 2024 and into 2025, with teams aiming for a cautious return rather than rushing him back. He eventually returned to the lineup in November 2025, delivering in his first games after missing time, according to The Hockey News coverage of his return.[1][2][4]
- In the 2024–25 postseason, there were updates indicating he needed surgery and could be out for the rest of the season, per multiple outlets citing official statements at the time. Later reports framed his status around an eventual return date in the 2025–26 season, with hope it would come during the Edmonton Oilers’ road trip schedule.[2][3]
- A November 2025 update suggested he was close to a 2025–26 season debut, with coaches indicating he could return sometime during that week, and a plan to activate him from injured reserve when ready. By mid-November 2025, he had appeared in a game for the Oilers, marking a long-awaited return.[3][4]
Illustration: Hyman's trajectory has been a cautious rehab-to-return arc: initial injury and surgery in spring 2025, gradual practice participation and near-term return in late 2025, and a productive return game in November 2025.[4][2][3]
