Taylor Hall figured out, being on the ice is better than in the rehab room, so at times, discretion is the better part of valour.
Hall has done a better job of picking his spots when it comes to putting himself in vulnerable positions, and in turn, has played every game for the Edmonton Oilers thus far this season.
Staying in the lineup has allowed Hall to put up impressive offensive totals, which culminated Wednesday with a selection to the 2016 NHL All-Star game in Nashville.
“Maybe I’m a bit more of a chicken sometimes, for lack of a better word,” Hall smiled after practice Wednesday.
