According to Mark Spector of Sportsnet, the Boston Bruins will be without winger Taylor Hall for tonight’s game versus the Edmonton Oilers.

Hall sustained an injury sometime during the Bruins’ road trip. He played over 13 minutes against the Vancouver Canucks, notching an assist in the Bruins’ victory. He is out with a lower-body injury for an unknown amount of time. The Bruins winger is likely day to day.

Hall has been a sneaky solid contributor to the Bruins’ offence this season. He has 16 goals and 36 points in 58 games. That puts him on an 82-game pace for 22 goals and 50 points. Those aren’t flashy numbers, especially when he plays for a team that employs David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand.

The Calgary, Alberta native was originally acquired by Boston from Buffalo at the 2021 trade deadline in exchange for Anders Bjork and a second-round pick. He immediately regained his offensive prowess, scoring 14 points in the remaining 16 games of the season. The Bruins then signed him to a four-year $24 million contract worth $6 million annually.

In the 2021-22 season, Hall scored 20 goals and 61 points, solidifying his role as a talented secondary scorer on the Bruins’ attack. Due to the sheer quantity of scorers on the 2022-23 Bruins, Hall is eighth on the team in points this year.

Hall is the former first-overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft by the Edmonton Oilers. He played six highly-productive seasons in Edmonton before being dealt in one of the most famous trades of the past decade. Hall was sent to the New Jersey Devils and defenseman Adam Larsson went to Edmonton.

Hall went on to win the Hart Trophy in New Jersey during the 2017-18 season, pushing them into the Stanley Cup playoffs that year.

In his career, Hall has 264 goals and 693 points in 819 games.
