Zach Hyman
Zachary Martin Hyman (born June 9, 1992) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Hyman is also an award-winning, best-selling author of children's literature, under contract with Penguin Random House. Hockey Canada named him the 2011 Canadian Junior Hockey League Player of the Year. In 2013, Hyman represented Canada at the 2013 Maccabiah Games in Israel, where he won a gold medal. During the 2014–15 season, Hyman won a number of awards, including being named the University of Michigan's Athlete of the Year and a First Team All-American, and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. Hyman was selected by the Florida Panthers in the 5th round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. However, the parties were unable to agree on a contract, and Hyman's rights were traded to the Maple Leafs on June 19, 2015. During his rookie 2016–17 season, he set a new Maple Leafs record for most short-handed goals scored by a rookie in a season with four, and tied the team record for the most consecutive games with an assist by a rookie at six games.

Could the Maple Leafs’ Matthew Knies Be the Next Zach Hyman?

With the 57th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs chose Matthew Knies. Unlike many of the Maple Leafs’ recent draft choices, the 18-year-old Knies has something that most recent draft picks don’t have. That’s size. Why the Maple Leafs Draft so...

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Two goals not enough

Hyman scored a pair of goals on five shots and added three hits in Monday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 4. Hyman cashed in on a couple of primary assists from Leon Draisaitl in this contest. The 29-year-old Hyman's second goal gave the Oilers a 4-2 lead, but it faded away throughout the third period before they lost 1:19 into overtime. The winger finished the postseason with 11 goals, five assists, 67 shots, 44 hits and a plus-4 rating in 16 appearances. He was the Oilers' big free-agent signing last July, and he finished his first year in Edmonton with 27 goals and 27 assists in 76 regular-season outings.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Supplies assist

Hyman notched an assist, three shots on goal and four hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3. Hyman set up Connor McDavid's goal just 38 seconds into the game. The 29-year-old Hyman saw a six-game goal streak end in the Oilers' shutout loss in Game 2, as he's met a bit more resistance from the Avalanche's defense than he did from the Flames in the second round. The winger has nine tallies, five helpers, 62 shots on net, 41 hits and a plus-4 rating in 15 playoff contests.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Keeps scoring in Game 1

Hyman scored a goal on five shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1. Hyman's been unstoppable since the start of the second round, logging seven goals and two assists in his last six games. The 29-year-old winger converted on a feed from Brett Kulak in Tuesday's contest. Hyman is up to nine tallies, four helpers, 56 shots, 35 hits and a plus-5 rating through 13 playoff contests. He may flip between the first and second lines, but there's no questioning his importance to the Oilers' scoring depth behind Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

How Zach Hyman has been a big part of Edmonton’s playoff success, and a splendid fit with the Oilers overall

The Edmonton Oilers are officially heading to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in sixteen years. It was an entertaining and thoroughly satisfying 5-4 victory (for Oilers fans) in Game 5 on Thursday night, which featured a chaotic moment where both teams scored a combined four goals in merely 1:11, and also a controversial disallowed goal by Blake Coleman. The goal is debatable, but regardless, it’s safe to say Calgary was the 2nd best team on the ice.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Three points in overtime win

Hyman scored a power-play goal on seven shots, dished two assists, logged four hits and went plus-4 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Flames in Game 5. After a sluggish first period, Hyman was put on the Oilers' top line instead of Evander Kane. The change ignited the offense, with Hyman factoring in on three of the team's four goals in the middle frame. The 29-year-old was a menace to Jacob Markstrom and the Flames, racking up six goals and two assists during the five-game series. In the playoffs, Hyman has eight tallies, four helpers, 51 shots, 31 hits and a plus-6 rating in 12 contests.

The Oilers couldn't break through in the first period, but Hyman tallied his fourth goal in the last three games just 52 seconds into the second. The winger hasn't let the lack of even-strength ice time with the Oilers' big stars slow him down. Through 10 outings in the playoffs, he's up to six goals, two assists, 42 shots, 22 hits and an even plus-minus rating.

Hyman scored twice on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Flames in Game 1. Both of Hyman's goals came from the left-wing side at sharp angles -- arguably, both tallies should have been stopped by Jacob Markstrom. The 29-year-old Hyman is up to four goals, two assists, 29 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-1 rating through eight playoff contests. He'll continue to play in a top-six role with power-play time throughout the postseason.

Oilers' Zach Hyman: Scores in victory

Hyman scored a goal on a team-high eight shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Stars. Hyman buried a rebound in the second period to give the Oilers their third goal, which would stand as the game-winner. The goal was the first in seven games for the 29-year-old forward. Still, it's been a strong year for Hyman, his first in Edmonton, as he's logged career highs with 25 goals and 51 points.
