WATCH: Taylor Hall Skates At Blackhawks Practice In Non-Contact Jersey

Well, this is a nice sight to see! Taylor Hall took the ice at Blackhawks’ practice Friday for the first time since tearing his ACL all the way back in November. By all accounts, Hall’s recovery has been right on schedule so it’s great to see him skating and checking that box.

Taylor Hall Skating Again

With ACL injuries, nothing is ever certain in terms of how smooth recoveries will go, especially for a veteran like Taylor Hall. So with that in mind, it’s great seeing him back on the ice.

It’s kind of easy to forget the few games he played with the Hawks early in the campaign, but getting him back next season is massively important. Maybe not necessarily for a playoff run, but skilled players like Hall are the types of linemates Connor Bedard needs to be playing with. Fingers crossed the rehab goes well and we see Hall lined up next to Bedard on Opening Night next season.

Taylor Hall was back at Blackhawks practice today.
