Carolina Hurricanes left wing Taylor Hall has been placed on injured reserve, the team announced Monday. He is week-to-week with an upper-body injury suffered in a divisional matchup against the Washington Capitals.
Hall has recorded 5 points in 8 games this season. The Hurricanes acquired him from the Chicago Blackhawks in a three-way trade in January 2025 that also brought Mikko Rantanen to Carolina. Hall helped the club win the 2026 Stanley Cup championship, skating on a second line with Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake during the postseason. In 119 regular-season games with Carolina, he has tallied 71 points, including 30 goals and 41 assists, plus 25 points in 34 playoff contests. Hall signed a three-year deal with a $3.167 million cap hit and is currently in year two.
Carolina's injury list also includes Seth Jarvis, who has yet to debut following offseason shoulder surgery, and 2026 Conn Smythe winner Jordan Staal, who is sidelined with a calf injury. Mark Jankowski was sent back to Raleigh mid-road trip for injury evaluation despite riding a 6-game goal streak.
The Hurricanes saw their 7-game winning streak end Sunday against the Calgary Flames. They hold a 7-2-1 record and a two-point lead atop the Metropolitan Division.
