While the Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars in Game 4, they had to do it without key forward Zach Hyman, who was hurt during the 1st period and didn't come back.
The Edmonton Oilers beat the Dallas Stars 4-1 on Tuesday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Rogers Place, moving to within a single win of a 2nd straight berth in the Stanley Cup Final.
Shouts of "We Want The Cup" rained down in the final minutes of play when it became clear that the Oilers would win the game to take a 3-1 series lead.
However, that was overshadowed by an injury to forward Zach Hyman in the 1st period after a collision with Dallas forward Mason Marchment.
Hyman didn't come back to the game, and per analyst Elliotte Friedman, was in the locker room to congratulate his teammates on their win afterward but his status remains unknown and that an update from coach Kris Knoblauch would be coming on Wednesday.
Kris Knoblauch says he will update Zach Hyman's injury tomorrow.
Hyman was in the room to congratulate his teammates postgame, but there is obvious concern about his status.

Hyman has 11 points (5G, 6A) in 15 postseason games for the Oilers, who could very well be facing the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final for the 2nd straight year.
Update on Zach Hyman rules him out for entire Western Conference Final and season due to injury
The GWG was scored by former Blackhawks forward Corey Perry in the 2nd period, a power play goal and his 2nd goal in as many games for the team he joined last year after his contract in Chicago was terminated for unethical behavior.
