Taylor Hall is the latest forward on the Carolina Hurricanes to go down with an injury after leaving Tuesday’s game against the Washington Capitals in the second period with an upper-body injury.
Following the 4-2 win to the Caps, head coach Rod Brind’Amour says it “doesn’t look good” regarding the injury to Hall.
The 34-year-old has scored three goals and two assists over seven games this season, his second full campaign with the Hurricanes.
Hall netted 18 goals and 30 assists over 80 games in 2025-26, adding seven goals and 12 assists over 19 postseason games as the Hurricanes captured their second Stanley Cup in franchise history.
The Calgary native joins captain Jordan Staal and star winger Seth Jarvis, who are both currently sidelined with injuries.
Staal, who hasn’t recorded a point six games this season, is expected to miss 1-2 months with a torn calf muscle while Jarvis has yet to play this season after undergoing shoulder surgery in late June. The 24-year-old was initially expected to miss 4-6 months following the surgery.
Over 996 career games with the Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, Arizona Coyotes, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks and Hurricanes, Hall has tallied 305 goals and 487 assists.
Selected first overall by the Oilers in 2010, Hall is playing in the second season of a three-year, $9.5 million contract, featuring an average annual value of $3.17 million.
