Zach Hyman injury shakes Oilers in Game 4 after controversial hit by Stars' Marchment
Hyman injured after controversial Marchment hit stuns Oilers (Image via: Getty Images) Zach Hyman's early exit in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final sent a jolt through Edmonton's playoff momentum. While the Oilers secured a convincing 4-1 win over the Dallas Stars, the spotlight quickly shifted to Hyman's injury, a moment that could have major implications for the remainder of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman leaves Game 4 after collision Zach Hyman Leaves Game After Making Contact With Mason Marchment Just 9:17 into the first period, Hyman was carrying the puck out of the Oilers' defensive zone when he attempted to cut past Stars defenseman Esa Lindell. That's when Dallas forward Mason Marchment delivered a heavy shoulder hit to Hyman's right side. The impact sent Hyman stumbling, immediately dropping his stick before heading straight to the bench and then down the tunnel. He did not return. No penalty was assessed on the play, but the hit quickly sparked controversy. While some defended it as clean playoff contact, others pointed to Marchment's aggressive reputation and questioned whether the hit crossed the line. Either way, the damage was done. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch gave no definitive update postgame, saying only that Hyman would be evaluated further. His absence looms large for a team chasing its first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 2006. Hyman has been a critical piece of Edmonton's postseason success, leading the NHL in hits (111) and tallying 11 points across 15 playoff games. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Necochea (ver precio) Verisure Undo Beyond the numbers, he's been the Oilers' heartbeat, a relentless grinder who brings energy and leadership every shift.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins echoed the concern, calling Hyman 'a big part of our game' and emphasizing the need for others to step up in his absence.

But whether Hyman will be part of that mission remains to be seen and could define the remainder of Edmonton's playoff run.

Study Buddy (Explorer): China's ‘Dairy Godfather' and his booming ice cream empire
Content provided by British Council Read the following text, and answer questions 1-9 below: [1] The story of China's 'Dairy Godfather', who went from an abandoned baby to the head of a 3-billion-yuan (HK$3.25 billion) ice cream empire, is one of resilience and vision. Niu Gensheng, 67, founded the corporate giant Mengniu Dairy and created Aice, an ice cream brand popular across Southeast Asia. [2] Niu was born into poverty in Inner Mongolia, a region of China known for its vast grasslands and deserts. His parents struggled to make ends meet. Unable to care for him, they sold him to a cattle farmer, who adopted him for 50 yuan (HK$54) shortly after he was born. When Niu was eight, his adoptive father lost his money, forcing Niu to sweep the streets and do hard labour with him. Later, both his adoptive parents died. [3] In 1983, Niu became a bottle washer at a local dairy factory, which later became Yili, one of China's leading dairy companies. Over the next decade, he worked his way up to workshop director, gaining a deep knowledge of the dairy production process. [4] By 1992, Niu was promoted to Vice-President of Production and Operations at Yili, where he reportedly earned an annual salary exceeding 1 million yuan (HK$1,086,500). Despite his success, Niu faced rumours and fierce competition at Yili, leading to his resignation. But he did not give up on his dream of building China's largest dairy company. [5] Niu used his experience and resources to launch Mengniu Dairy in 1999. At the time, his former employer, Yili, already had assets worth billions. Niu's unique marketing strategy focused on rural markets, using local dialects in advertisements and low prices to attract customers. [6] By 2004, Mengniu's revenue reached 7.2 billion yuan (HK$7.8 billion). The following year, it surpassed Yili to become China's top dairy brand. After building the Mengniu empire, Niu set his sights on the Southeast Asian market, which many other entrepreneurs had overlooked. In 2015, he launched Aice, an ice cream brand targeting Indonesia's market. [7] Niu adopted the same strategy focused on small profits and high volume, with prices ranging from 900 to 1500 IDR (HK$0.42 to HK$0.70), making 'quality ice cream affordable for everyone'. Aice introduced popular flavours like durian and coconut milk coffee ice cream, catering to local cultural and religious preferences. They also provided small shops with free freezers and electricity subsidies to support local vendors. [8] Today, Aice operates in more than 1,200 districts across Indonesia, with more than three billion yuan in annual revenue, securing its position as Southeast Asia's top ice cream brand. Niu describes his business philosophy as 'not about making the rich more grand, but about allowing the poor to live with dignity.' Niu is also deeply involved in philanthropy, funding initiatives that build schools across China and help children with serious illnesses in Inner Mongolia.
