Taylor Hall misses Hurricanes win over Bruins with new undisclosed injury
Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall sat out a 2-1 victory against the Boston Bruins due to a new undisclosed injury, coach Rod Brind’Amour said. The team announced his absence just after activating him from injured reserve on Monday, following a five-game absence caused by an upper-body injury sustained during a 4-2 win against the Washington Capitals on October 13.
Hall participated in Monday’s practice skating alongside linemates Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis, and team officials expected him to play in Tuesday’s matchup. However, Brind’Amour stated that the 33-year-old forward left the morning skate early after sustaining a different physical setback.
