Head coach Mike Babcock said Thursday that he expects Hyman (illness) to be ready for Friday's home clash against the Flyers, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyman missed Wednesday's game due to the illness, and his availability for Friday was unclear. The 26-year-old has run his point total up to 32 in 59 games this campaign. As always, check on the winger's status closer to puck drop, but expect Hyman resuming his first line role Friday.

Hyman will sit out Wednesday's matchup with the Blackhawks due to the flu.

EDGE Analysis

Hyman's owners will miss a juicy matchup against a Chicago club that's surrendering 3.70 goals per game -- second-most in the league. Don't expect the top-line winger to be knocked out too long, with his next chance to return coming Fridat against the Flyers. Nicolas Petan will likely emerge from the press box to fill in for Hyman on Wednesday.

Hyman (undisclosed) will play in Monday's home game against the Lightning, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyman had missed Monday's pre-game skate, but was spotted on the ice for warm ups and will suit up. The 26-year-old will remain alongside John Tavares and Mitch Marner on the Leafs' top line. Hyman has been a solid fantasy asset recently, racking up three points in his last three games.

Hyman (undisclosed) missed practice Monday, but coach Mike Babcock believes he'll suit up for Monday's game against the Lightning, Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Maple Leafs are going to need all hands on deck to compete with the league's best team, but luckily it sounds like Hyman won't have to miss this one. Still, those relying on the top-line winger in fantasy should check in prior to puck drop to confirm his status. Koshan added that should Hyman sit, Tyler Ennis would move up in the lineup while creating a fourth-line opening for Trevor Moore.

Hyman buried a pair of goals in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The left-winger has done well lately, with six points in his last six games. He had four shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's contest. Hyman has 31 points in 56 games this season, eclipsing the 30-point plateau for the second consecutive year. As long as he remains on the top line, he will have value in deeper formats.

Hyman notched two goals Saturday in a 6-3 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Mike Babcock loves his guy -- he had him on the ice in the final two minutes of the game and that's when Hyman got both his goals. He has three goals in his last three games and his hard-nosed game will give him lots of ice time. We just wish Hyman produced more points given his top-six role.

Hyman scored a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

While the 26-year-old is far overshadowed by current linemates John Tavares and Mitch Marner in the raw talent department, Hyman is providing solid numbers of his own, scoring two goals and five points in the last three games and eight points (three goals, five helpers) in 11 games since returning to the lineup from an ankle injury. As long as he's doing the dirty work on the Leafs' top even-strength unit -- Hyman has 17 hits in those 11 games -- coach Mike Babcock will be inclined to keep the line together, preserving the winger's fantasy value.

Hyman assisted on two even-strength goals in Monday's 6-1 blowout win over Anaheim.

EDGE Analysis

Monday marked Hyman's first multi-assist game of the campaign. The 26-year-old is now up to nine goals and 21 points in 42 games but has only racked up 81 shots, which could explain his low goal total. Hyman will hope to make it three games in a row with a point when he and the Leafs face Ottawa on Wednesday.

Hyman picked up an assist Sunday in a 4-2 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Hyman has two points in his last three games. He's a solid performer and hard-working asset on any of the top three lines. Hyman won't deliver power-play points, but he can pitch in a point every couple games. That means his value is restricted to deep formats.

Hyman (ankle) will return to action against the Devils on Thursday, Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyman has officially been removed from injured reserve, per the NHL's official media site, and you can expect him to reprise his role on the top line with John Tavares and Mitch Marner. The obvious drawback to rostering Hyman is that he doesn't see the ice often in power-play situations, but he does have a steady role on the penalty kill to help the Buds.
