Bad news for the Blackhawks' forward as he is unlikely to see another play

Taylor Hall will undergo a surgery on his right knee, which will likely sideline him for the rest of the season, reports say.

The Chicago Blackhawks place the forward on the injury reserved on Thursday.

Head-coach Luke Richardson informed that Hall will be having an ACL surgery.

“He’s very disappointed,” Richardson said. “But it just came from (an) accumulation of a bunch of little injuries, in the game, and even in practice the other day. It just became unstable that we have to fix that now.”

The 32-year-old sustained the injury on November 9, when he collided with Tampa Bay’s Michael Eyssimont.

“A guy just pulled him down. It was just a nothing play, and just the way he fell on it, that was kind of one of the last straws,” Richardson said. “Then he tried to get through it and in practice he just caught a rut and it finalized him.”
