Taylor Hall Scores In Second Consecutive Game

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall has started to heat up and boasts goals from back-to-back games following Sunday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey.

Calgary Flames winger Andrew Mangiapane has been suspended for one game for cross-checking Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann in Saturday's 6-3 win.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams (back) still isn't ready to make his season debut on Monday against Atlanta. The 28-year-old is kept out of the lineup by lower back spasms.

De'Andre Hunter Fine For Monday
