NEWARK -- Devils forward Taylor Hall didn't feel 100 percent for a 15-20 game stretch during the season after returning from knee surgery.
Hall made a remarkable recovery from left knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus in November, returning to the lineup after missing only eight games. Hall said he was healthy enough and ready to play, but it took time to feel like himself.
"It probably affected me for 15, 20 games where I maybe wasn't 100 percent," Hall said. "I think ever guy in the league goes through those things and no one is 100 percent healthy at the end of a year.
