Taylor Hall's season took an early hit just two games into the 2023-24 campaign when he sustained an upper-body injury. The injury resulted from a hit by Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo during the second period of Wednesday's game. Although Carlo avoided a penalty, Hall's slow recovery and subsequent trip to the dressing room raised concerns.
However, recent developments have offered a glimpse of optimism. Hall participated in Friday's practice with his teammates, preparing for their game against the Canadiens in Montreal on Saturday. He even stayed behind for additional stick-handling work, suggesting a potentially swifter recovery.
Despite these positive signs, experts remain cautious, fearing possible delayed symptoms or further impact-related issues, possibly stemming from a concussion. Richardson later hinted that Hall's return might be more day-to-day than week-to-week, raising hopes for a quicker comeback. While he won't play in the next game, there's newfound optimism regarding Hall's return timeframe.
