Defenseman Connor Murphy and forward Taylor Hall are taking steps towards recovery, providing a much-needed boost for the team.
Murphy's return to skating sessions at Fifth Third Arena indicates progress in his rehabilitation journey. Similarly, Hall's presence on the ice signals positive strides in his recovery from an ACL injury.
Hall's absence has strained the Blackhawks, relying heavily on call-ups to fill roster gaps. However, his gradual recovery offers hope for a potential return next season, easing the team's burden.
Initially expected to mentor rising star Connor Bedard, Hall's tenure with the Blackhawks has been marred by injuries since his last game on November 19th against the Buffalo Sabres, followed by surgery.
In limited appearances, Hall contributed 4 points, including 2 goals and 2 assists. The Blackhawks eagerly await his return, hoping for a significant impact alongside Bedard in the upcoming season.
