Hall missed the Bruins' previous two games and will also be out of the lineup Thursday due to a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old had 16 goals, 20 assists, 143 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 58 games before the injury.

Hall has 16 goals, 20 assists, 143 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 58 games this season but will miss Monday's matchup vs. Edmonton as he deals with a lower-body injury.
When hall suffered an upper-body injury on October 1st, the Bruins described him as week-to-week. Hall progressed quicker than expected and is expected to play in the Bruins' season opener in Washington. Hall skated on a line with Patrice Bergeron and Jake DeBrusk in Monday's practice.
Hall is apparently ahead of schedule in his recovery from an upper-body injury. According to Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery, Hall may be back "sooner than week-to-week." The Bruins' season starts next Wednesday (Oct.12) so keep an eye on Hall's progress over the weekend.
Hall left Saturday's preseason game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters that Hall is "week-to-week. It’s a little bit more significant than we expected." This is a huge loss for the Bruins, who were going to rely on Hall to replace Brad Marchand, who will be out until late November.
The Bruins are already postponed through the Christmas break, so moving Hall likely doesn't change much for his status.
Hall had a slow start with the Sabres in 2021 but found his stride after a midseason trade to the Bruins. Once in Boston, Hall was tied for 32nd with 14 points (8G / 6A) in 16 games. Hall was the perfect fit for the Bruins' second line and signs a very reasonable $6.0M AAV deal to stay with them for the next four years.
Hall is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup. Anton Blidh, who was scratched last night, should draw in to replace Hall.
Hall was acquired from the Sabres on Sunday night and is expected to make his Bruins debut on Tuesday. Hall skated on the second line with David Krejci and Craig Smith and PP2 in Tuesday's morning skate.
Hall bet on himself with a one-year deal in Buffalo and it could not have gone worse. Hall registered just two goals with 17 assists (19 points) in 37 games. That doesn't paint the entire picture though, Hall has shot just 2.3 percent with a career-low 6.7 on-ice SH%, so there's certainly reason to expect him to post bigger numbers in Boston. Hall will almost certainly play on the second line with David Krejci.
With the trade deadline less than a week away, the Sabres will keep Hall out of the lineup on Tuesday for precautionary reasons. With Hall out, look for C.J. Smith to draw into the Sabres lineup.
Hall was acquired from the Devils on Monday and joined the team in San Jose this morning and will make his debut against the Sharks. The Coyotes did not run lines this morning, so there is no indication who Hall will skate with.
Hall is a pending unrestricted free agent, so this could be a pure rental but the Coyotes are expected to pursue an extension. Hall will look to improve his numbers in Arizona to maximize his next deal and he could benefit from playing on a line with Phil Kessel. Hall's numbers so far are still decent, scoring six goals one 109 shots (5.5 SH%) with 19 assists (25 points) in 30 games.
Hall was on the ice for warmups last night but was a late-scratch in Colorado. Hall will sit out for a second straight game with New Jersey nearing a deal to trade the pending UFA. It looks like Hall has played his final game as a New Jersey Devil.
