What Happened
The Edmonton Oilers confirmed that forward Zach Hyman and goaltender Devon Levi will return to the active roster for Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks. Hyman has been sidelined since Oct. 26 with a neck injury sustained during a shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Levi, who missed the previous seven games with an undisclosed injury, last suited up for Edmonton on Oct. 22. The team announced these activations ahead of the Saturday Night Hockey broadcast.
