No longer hobbled by injury, Taylor Hall has found his legs — and turned back into an ‘offensive juggernaut’ for the Bruins

SUNRISE, Fla. — Taylor Hall’s tally on April 19 was not going to reverse the Bruins’ fortunes.

The 31-year-old winger’s quick shot from the slot was an unceremonious bookend to a miserable night on Causeway Street for Hall and his teammates. With just 1:10 left on the TD Garden clock, Hall’s goal cut his team’s deficit to just three in an eventual 6-3 drubbing against the Panthers.

But amid the misery of Boston’s lopsided loss, Jim Montgomery found progress in the form of Hall’s garbage-time goal — his first since Feb. 14.

“I know it’s a meaningless goal,” Montgomery said on Friday.
