Status report
Hyman took part in the morning skate, but did not do line rushes. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said the forward could make his season debut against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday or the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. Hyman last played in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final. … Nugent-Hopkins, a forward, is expected to be out the remainder of the week. … Foerster took part in an optional morning skate and will be a game-time decision, coach Rick Tocchet said. The forward, who was activated off injured reserve Wednesday, has missed four games because of a lower-body injury sustained blocking a shot against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Nov. 1. … Carl Grundstrom, a forward, was assigned to Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League.
