Taylor Hall opens up about the bizarre "debilitating" setback that stalled his return to the ice, detailing his recovery process and the challenge of regaining game speed.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall revealed that an unexpected case of tennis elbow caused a setback that delayed his return to the lineup. Hall was set to return on October 27 against the Boston Bruins following an initial five-game absence, but he left morning practice after five minutes due to the new, debilitating elbow issue.
Hall ultimately missed nine total games before returning on November 5 in a 5-3 victory over the New York Islanders. Playing 10:30 across 14 shifts, Hall noted he felt rusty adjusting to game speed, while head coach Rod Brind'Amour acknowledged the challenge of returning without sufficient practice time.
