Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall is recovering from an upper-body injury sustained on Wednesday, while Nashville Predators' Mikael Granlund has been placed on injured reserve for at least a week. Hall was seen skating today, indicating progress in his recovery. These injuries are significant setbacks for both teams, as Hall and Granlund are key contributors to their respective lineups. The Blackhawks and Predators will have to adjust their strategies and find ways to compensate for the absence of these skilled players.
Taylor Hall plans to play tomorrow vs. Toronto, meaning he’ll have missed just one game. His shoulder doesn’t feel great but it’s good enough to play.
Taylor Hall said it was a shoulder injury he suffered in Boston. He passed the concussion test “with ease.” #Blackhawks
