Blackhawks Receive Promising Taylor Hall Update

After initially being labeled week-to-week with an upper-body injury earlier this week, Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall is only expected to be out day-to-day.

Luke Richardson said Taylor Hall (upper-body) told him he feels like a “miracle healer” after being healthy enough to skate today.

He won’t play on Saturday in Montreal, but his status is now day-to-day and not week-to-week. Positive sign. #Blackhawks

This is great news for the Blackhawks, as Hall is one of their top forwards and is one of Connor Bedard's linemates for the season. The former Hart Trophy winner has been off to a solid start with Chicago, so it was disappointing when he was initially supposed to be out for multiple weeks. Now, in the blink of an eye, the skilled winger is nearing a return. In fact, he even returned to practice.

Hall is aiming to have a bounce-back season with the Blackhawks after a fairly underwhelming season, at least for his standards, in 2022-23 with the Boston Bruins. Yet, his drop in production was from a decreased role. Now that he is seeing big minutes in Chicago, don't be surprised if a big season is in store for him.
