Hall out for up to six weeks with lower leg injury. #Oilers aren't saying if it's a fractured bone.

To recap:
- Taylor Hall misses three games from January 27-31 with what the team is calling a leg injury. Bone bruise was tossed around a lot as well.
- Taylor Hall plays two periods against the Sharks before leaving the game having aggravated the injury. He's later declared to be day-to-day.
- After three more games it's announced that Taylor Hall will be out of the lineup for up to six weeks.
Are the injuries related? Did playing against San Jose lead to this or make the injury substantially worse? Those are questions we might never really have answers to, but this is an area where the Oilers have struggled to get things right in the past, so it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt here.
