Hall misses game after injury during warmups

Published November 20, 2014

Edmonton Oilers left wing Taylor Hall sat out Tuesday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after cutting his head when he accidentally made contact with a teammate during pregame warmups.

Team spokesman J.J. Hebert confirmed that Hall "fell and a teammate tried to avoid him and his skate cut him."

Hall did not play in the first period. The team announced in the second period that Hall had suffered a "cut to the head" and would not play in the game.

Hall, who was not wearing a helmet, had blood running down the side of his head while a trainer tried to staunch the flow.

The 20-year-old, the first overall pick in the 2010 draft, has 15 goals and 16 assists in 36 games.
