Chicago Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson indicated before the game against the Vancouver Canucks that forward Taylor Hall was left out.
He will watch the clash in the stands. According to the coach, the plan is to give him more opportunities to train.
“Players never like to be left out,” Richardson said before the game. So he’s not happy, but we hope that it will be a good step for him and that eventually it will help the team. »
In 17 games this season, the 33-year-old athlete has been limited to two goals and four assists.
Jones on the sidelines
Furthermore, still with the Blackhawks, the name of defender Seth Jones was placed on the injured list on Saturday.
Jones, who is out with an injured right foot, played in the Blackhawks’ first 17 games, averaging more than 25 minutes per game on the ice.
The 30-year-old guard collected 10 points, including two goals.
“That’s a lot of minutes to replace,” admitted head coach Luke Richardson. He is a very important player in many aspects of the game.
“Having said that, it’s happened in the last couple of years and the guys have taken matters into their own hands. This is an opportunity to have more minutes and more important minutes. »
