Carolina Hurricanes veteran forward Taylor Hall, 34, who has three goals and five points this season, suffered an upper-body injury on Tuesday night, and did not return to his team's 4-2 victory over the Washington Capitals at Lenovo Center.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall suffered an upper-body injury on Tuesday night and did not return to the game against the Washington Capitals. Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour provided no formal update afterward, remarking only that "that doesn't look good." The injury adds to Carolina's roster setbacks, as captain Jordan Staal was ruled out for one to two months with a torn calf muscle suffered during pregame warmups on Sunday.
Despite the injuries, Carolina secured a 4-2 victory over Washington to extend their winning streak to six games. Andrei Svechnikov scored two goals, including the game-winner, while Eric Robinson and Mark Jankowski also tallied for the Hurricanes. Goalie Pyotr Kochetkov made 20 saves, improving his season record to 4-0-0.
