Oilers' Zach Hyman: Sitting out with illness
Hyman (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights.
Hyman can be considered day-to-day beyond Tuesday's contest. His absence will likely give Sam Gagner a chance to return to the lineup. Hyman has seven points over his last three games, so his production will be hard to replace for both the Oilers and fantasy managers.

Erne recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.
Erne helped out on James Hamblin's goal in the second period as the Oilers got a rare fourth-line contribution. The helper was Erne's first point in 11 appearances this season, though he's been a regular in the lineup lately, playing in five of the last six games.

Oilers' Connor Brown: Registers assist in win
Brown produced an assist in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Ducks.

The helper was Brown's first point of the season, though he missed six games with a lower-body injury that may have been hampering him before his absence. Brown has contributed 17 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-6 rating through 14 appearances, and while he's in a top-six role, fantasy managers may want to wait for his offense to steady before trusting Brown on their rosters.
