Former Bruins forward out for the season with a knee injury
The Chicago Blackhawks will be without forward Taylor Hall for the remainder of the season. The 32-year-old will have surgery on his right knee.
Hall was in his first season with the Blackhawks, after he was acquired along with Nick Foligno from the Bruins back in June. He will finish the season with two goals and four points in 10 games. The veteran also missed time this season with a shoulder injury.
Hall initially sustained an injury in his right leg in the team’s 5-3 win over the Lightning on Nov. 9. He had to be helped off the ice after he fell backward on the leg, which bent underneath him. It’s likely the injury came during an ugly collision with Lightning forward Mikey Eyssimont.
The shoulder injury that Hall sustained came in the Blackhawks second game of the season, ironically against the Bruins at the TD Garden. He would return to the team a few days later after being listed as to week to week on the injury report.
Hall has another year left on his contract with the Blackhawks. The injury to the Canadian forward prohibits him from playing a full season along side young superstar Connor Bedard.
The 14-year left shot forward owns 266 career goals, 431 assists and 697 points. His best season came in the 2016-2017 campaign where he won the Hart Trophy, scored 39 goals and finished with 93 points.
