Overview
- Hall was a full participant in Monday practice and told team reporter Walt Ruff he feels good and expects to be back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Bruins.
- The forward missed five games after suffering an upper‑body injury on October 13 and was placed on injured reserve during Carolina’s road trip.
- Practice usage showed Hall skating with Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis, signaling a likely slot on a middle forward line rather than a specialty role.
- Carolina went 3-1-1 on the recent road trip and still leads the NHL in points with one of the top goal differentials, easing immediate pressure from Hall’s absence.
- The team officially activated Hall and sent Skylar Brind’Amour to AHL Chicago to open the roster spot, and further short-term moves could follow as injured players return.
