Carolina Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall resumed practicing Monday and is expected to return following a five-game absence caused by an upper-body injury.
Hall sustained the ailment on October 13 against the Washington Capitals. Before going down, the left winger had produced five points, including three goals and two assists, across eight contests. He skates on the club's second line alongside Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake.
The Hurricanes went 3-1-1 on their five-game State Fair road trip without Hall. Carolina sits at 9-2-2 with 20 points, the most in the NHL, while its plus-18 goal differential trails only the Boston Bruins leaguewide.
Hall told team reporter Walt Ruff he is "feeling good and is ready to return."
The club still faces forward shortages. Seth Jarvis, who underwent offseason shoulder surgery, played the final two games of the trip. Jordan Staal and Mark Jankowski remain unavailable. Carolina opens a three-game homestand at Lenovo Center on Tuesday against Boston, followed by matchups with Columbus on Thursday and Winnipeg on Sunday.
