The New Jersey Devils announced on Wednesday that Taylor
Hall will miss about three to four weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery
on his knee to repair a torn meniscus.
Hall was scratched from Tuesday night’s matchup with the Dallas
Stars, which the Devils won, 2-1, in overtime. The 25-year-old winger’s five
goals and seven assists in 14 games, ties him for the team lead in scoring with
defenseman, Damon Severson.
The Devils five game winning streak and 9-3-3 record through
their first 15 games this season, place them in third place in the Metropolitan
Division.
Hall has been placed on the injured reserve list as the Devils
head out to take on the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday at the Honda Center. The
Devils called up Blake Pietila from the Albany Devils of the American Hockey
League, to fill in for Hall in his absence.
The Calgary Flames also announced on Wednesday that Johnny
Gaudreau will need surgery on his broken finger, which he sustained against the
Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night. With just over four minutes left in the final
period, Gaudreau left the game after taking a slash to his wrist.
Gaudreau scored the lone goal of the game as the Flames
defeated the Wild 1-0. Gaudreau leads the team with five goals and six assists
in 17 games. He was currently on a four-game point scoring streak, with three
goals before getting injured.
The Flames are currently in fifth place in the Pacific
Division, with a 6-10-1 record.
