Hall leads Devils over Canucks with goal, assist and hit
NEWARK, N.J. — Everyone knows Taylor Hall can score and set up teammates. He also showed he can deliver a devastating hit on Tuesday night.
Hall had a goal, assisted on a go-ahead tally by Kyle Palmieri and delivered a crushing check that knocked Vancouver defenceman Philip Larsen out of the game to lift the New Jersey Devils over the Canucks 3-2.
Hall’s second-period hit caused Larsen to be taken off the ice on a stretcher and driven to a hospital for observation.
The Canucks said he was alert and had a full range of motion leaving the ice.
