Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said Wednesday that forward Zach Hyman requires surgery following the upper-body injury that knocked him out of Edmonton’s Game 4 win over the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference finals. He is not expected to be able to play for the remainder of the postseason.

While in a dangerous spot facing a 3-1 series deficit, Dallas is confident that it can get back on track with a “one game at a time” mentality

The Dallas Stars face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 of their Western Conference Finals series, which has Edmonton up 2-1.

Hintz, who was originally injured after an iffy whack to his foot by Darnell Nurse in Game 2, got another whack early into Game 4 from Edmonton’s Evan Bouchard. Bouchard welcomed Hintz back to the ice by popping him in the injured foot, temporarily staggering Hintz before he was able to skate back to the bench. The play went unpenalized.

"A little bit of the same story, right?" coach Pete DeBoer said after the Stars faltered again in their Game 4 loss to the Oilers.

The Edmonton Oilers will likely be without hard-hitting forward Zach Hyman for the remainder of the playoffs because of an undisclosed injury to his right arm.
