Taylor Hall Turns Back The Clock With Fifth Hat Trick
Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall regained his MVP form for one night as he netted his fifth career hat trick in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Dallas. Hall started the damage just 17 seconds into the game and already had two goals inside six minutes. He hadn't scored three goals in a single game since 2013. The 2018 Hart Trophy winner has had a difficult time in recent years, and his production has been lacking in 2024-25 as well, even leading to Hall sitting as a healthy scratch. He's on nine points (five goals, four assists) in 21 games and belongs on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.
Taylor Hall Fully Ready For Start Of Training Camp
Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall (knee) will be a full participant in training camp, the team announced on Tuesday. Hall's 2023-24 season ended with knee surgery in November after he had played only 10 games. The veteran star posted two goals and two assists. After also having a nightmare in 2022-23 with Boston, scoring 36 points (16 goals, 20 assists) in 61 games, Hall must be very eager to prove his worth this season, especially as this is a contract year for him. Hall is projected to start the campaign on the second line and should feature heavily on the power play.
Taylor Hall Aims To Be "Solid Contributor" For Blackhawks
Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall (knee) is looking to produce a strong bounce-back year following an injury-hit 2023-24 campaign. "I'm really confident I'll be a solid contributor for the Blackhawks this year," Hall told Ben Pope of The Chicago Sun-Times. "What makes me say that is the hockey I've played and the preparation I've done this summer. ... I know I can be a difference-maker for our team." The former MVP was limited to only 10 appearances in his debut season with the Blackhawks. He suffered a shoulder injury in only the second game of the season and an ACL injury in November, which ended his campaign. Hall's fantasy stock has plummeted in recent years, but he aims to become a 30-goal scorer again and should be motivated by the fact that it's a contract year for him.
Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall (knee) will undergo surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season. The former MVP is set to have ACL surgery on his right knee.

Ryan Donato will likely take over Hall's spot on the second line while he sits out, but doesn't have much appeal in fantasy.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall (lower body) practiced with the team on Friday and the club is hopeful he can return for Saturday's road game against the Nashville Predators.

"I think he feels stronger every day, so we're hoping he's playing tomorrow and just keep going from there." The former Hart Trophy winner has tallied two goals and four points in eight games with the Blackhawks after being traded from the Boston Bruins this past summer.

There still isn't a timetable for Hall's return, but it could be anytime with him fully participating in practice as part of the first powerplay unit.
