After missing several games due to injury, veteran and former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall will return to the lineup for Chicago against the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
In five games this season, Hall has notched just two assists, but has played a vital role in the development of Connor Bedard, making his return to the lineup critical.
With Hall out, Bedard hasn't been playing with the caliber of linemates that you would expect given his status as the No. 1 overall pick, but with Hall back, the offence is about to get a major boost.
With Hall in the lineup alongside Corey Perry, Bedard, Lukas Reichel, Taylor Raddysh and Andreas Athanasiou, this is quite the talented top-six, and if Hall can hit the form we've seen in recent years, this could be a very fun squad to watch for the remainder of the year.
