Taylor Hall Leaves Game With A "Lower Body Injury"

The superstar could return on Sunday

Taylor Hall left the game against St. Louis tonight in the third period and did not return. The Oilers Twitter account annouced it:

The Sportsnet broadcast crew called it a "lower body injury". Hall was involved in a slight collision behind the net and appeared to turn awkwardly on his knee. Hall also appeared to lose an edge in the second period on the half-wall and extend his leg awkwardly.

This all came after Hall went off of the ice in the second period after blocking a shot with his upper arm, or shoulder.

Hall has already missed 38 games in his career due to injury and just returned from a two-game suspension for his hit on Cal Clutterbuck last week.

The injury would be his third significant injury in his young three-year career and represents a significant blow to the Oilers' who are in the midst of a nine-game road trip.
