With young star Connor Bedard, this Chicago Blackhawks team has been a fun one through the early stages of the 2023-24 season, and now, they're getting a major boost.
The return of a vet
After missing several games due to injury, veteran and former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall will return to the lineup for Chicago against the Florida Panthers on Saturday night.
-
In five games this season, Hall has notched just two assists, but has played a vital role in the development of Connor Bedard, making his return to the lineup critical.

A crucial piece for their young star
With Hall out, Bedard hasn't been playing with the caliber of linemates that you would expect given his status as the No. 1 overall pick, but with Hall back, the offence is about to get a major boost.
-
With Hall in the lineup alongside Corey Perry, Bedard, Lukas Reichel, Taylor Raddysh and Andreas Athanasiou, this is quite the talented top-six, and if Hall can hit the form we've seen in recent years, this could be a very fun squad to watch for the remainder of the year.
