Taylor Hall News
Hall (lower-body) is not on the ice for the Oilers morning skate.

Hall re-aggravated his lower-body injury on Monday and it doesn’t look like he will be in the lineup tonight vs. the Penguins. With Hall out, Nail Yakupov has been bumped up to the Oilers top-line. Monitor Hall’s status after the skate, but it looks like he will be day-to-day again.

Hall left Monday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Hall returned to the lineup on Monday after missing three games, but re-aggravated his injury and was forced from the contest. Coach Todd Nelson said Hall’s exit was more precautionary than anything. Expect an update leading up to Wednesday’s game vs. the Penguins.

The Oilers have placed Taylor Hall (knee) on injured reserve.

Hall was diagnosed with a sprained MCL and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. He is eligible to be activated next week, but he is not expected to be healthy. It obviously depends on the severity of the sprain and the player, but Ducks' forward Pat Maroon only missed two weeks with a sprain MCL, so there is some optimism that Hall won't be out one month.

Hall will miss 2-4 weeks with an MCL sprain.

Hall was injured on Saturday night when he went crashing into the post. Hall had been off to a great start, scoring 10 points (6G / 4A) in the first 11 games. Edmonton is going to be in trouble without Hall for at least two weeks, but they have talent that can step up in his absence, it is just a matter of if they do or not.

Hall (leg) will not travel with the team to start their upcoming road-trip.

Hall was injured when crashed into the goalpost last night and with the Oilers sent to embark on a five-game road-trip, it will start without their star winger. The trip starts Tuesday in Philly and goes until the following Tuesday in Nashville. Hall will stay in Edmonton and be evaluated by the medical staff and a detailed injury report will likely be released in the next 24 hours. It sounds like the injury is not too serious, so he could potentially join the team in the middle of the trip.

Hall left Saturday's game after crashing into a post and did not return.

Following Saturday's game, head coach Dallas Eakins had no update on Hall's status, but he was spotted leaving the arena with no crutches or walking boot, which is positive news that the injury might not be too severe. Losing Hall would be a huge loss for the Oilers, but with two days off before their next game, he could be back.

Updating an earlier report. Hall will play tonight vs. Tampa Bay.

17 days after spraining his left knee. It’s well ahead of the four-week prognostication after the second-degree sprain when hit by Eric Gryba. Hall will have to wear a brace on his knee the rest of the season, but that’s a small price to pay to be back, for Thursday’s game on a line with Sam Gagner and Nail Yakupov.
