The weekend began with the worst possible hockey related news a New Jersey Devils fan could hear. Taylor Hall is injured with something wrong in the lower body, and he would not play Friday night against the Vegas Golden Knights and is questionable to travel to Nashville to take on the Predators. Spoiler: he played in neither game.
How could the Devils luck get any worse? Team and league MVP Taylor Hall is out of the lineup for a back to back against two top teams in the Western Conference. Things were looking bleak already.
It was even worse when the Vegas Golden Knights were up in the hockey game by a score of 4-1.
