After the Carolina Hurricanes dropped their first game in the past 8 contests on Sunday evening, the team announced a piece of injury news regarding forward Taylor Hall.
The Hurricanes’ next contest is against the Vancouver Canucks (on the road) on Tuesday evening.
Hall has missed the past few games with an upper-body injury and is now headed to the IR, per team announcement.

Carolina has already recalled prospects Bradley Nadeau and Felix Unger Sorum from the AHl, but with Seth Jarvis’s activation looming, it will be interesting to see what other roster moves come from the Canes in the coming days.
Hurricanes’ Taylor Hall Heads to IR
Taylor Hall is a 17-year NHL veteran, and in 2026-27 thus far, he has five points (3G, 2A) in eight games played.
“Hall has five points (three goals, two assists) in eight games this season. He had 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 19 Stanley Cup Playoff games to help Carolina win the Cup last season. He is three games shy of 1,000 in the NHL, with 792 points (305 goals, 487 assists) in 997 games for the Edmonton Oilers, New Jersey Devils, Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks and Hurricanes.”
It’s somewhat of a big blow to the Hurricanes’ forward group in the early stages of the season, but Carolina hasn’t endured any sort of Stanley Cup hangover, and with Javis’s return looming, Carolina will get back the services of their top goal scorers, while already being atop the Metro Division and Eastern Conference.
The Latest on the Hurricanes
Despite dealing with a few injuries to starting forwards, the Carolina Hurricanes are off to a very hot start to the new campaign.
Through the first 10 games, the Canes are 7-2-1 and are currently 1-1 on their 5-game West Coast swing.
And while the Taylor Hall injury is bad news, the Canes will get a forward by the name fo Seth Jarvis back to the fold shortly.
Jarvis is currently traveling with the Canes, but has yet to be cleared to play.
