Hyman (COVID-19 protocols) was on the ice for Thursday's game-day skate, Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman's return to the lineup will see him eventually restored to a top-six role, likely with Leon Draistail on the second line, but may have to settle for a third-line spot at the start to ease him back into the lineup. The 29-year-old winger is stuck in an 11-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 1 versus Pittsburgh and has just 18 shots over that stretch.

Hyman recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman set up Darnell Nurse's game-tying goal in the third period, but the Oilers weren't able to force overtime. The 29-year-old Hyman has cooled off a bit since the start of December with just two goals and four assists in 12 games. The winger is at 21 points, 81 shots on net, 37 hits and a minus-9 rating in 32 contests overall. Chances are good he'll have success as long as he's in a top-six role, but fantasy managers may be short on patience given his recent scoring struggles.

Hyman recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The assist was Hyman's first point in three games since returning from a shoulder injury after the holiday break. He also reached the 20-point mark for the season with the primary assist on Darnell Nurse's second-period marker. Even with missed time, Hyman's got a good chance to push for his career high of 41 points from the 2018-19 campaign. The winger has added 76 shots on net, 33 hits, a minus-5 rating and 16 PIM through 29 outings this year.

Hyman (shoulder) is expected back in action versus the Blues on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to the Christmas break, Hyman missed three games due to his shoulder issue. The winger is currently bogged down in a five-game goal drought dating back to Dec. 1 against Pittsburgh. It's the second time this season Hyman has gone on an extended slump, having previously gone goalless in seven straight games in November. Still, he should be in the mix to rejoin the lineup in a top-six role with either Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl which sets him up well to get back on the scoresheet.

Hyman (shoulder) won't be available versus Toronto on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hyman is still considered day-to-day, so he may still be an option against the Jackets on Thursday. Once given the all-clear, the winger should immediately retake a spot in the top six. In the meantime. Zack Kassian is poised to play alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
