Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall said he was "surprised" to be a healthy scratch Saturday, saying coach Luke Richardson had given him no indication it was even a possibility.

Hall, 33, is in his second season with the Blackhawks. He has six points (2 goals, 4 assists) in 17 games with Chicago after being limited to just 10 games last season because of ACL surgery on his right knee. Hall is in his 15th NHL season, having won the Hart Trophy as league MVP with New Jersey in 2017-18.
