Edmonton Oilers coach Tom Renney says Taylor Hall is doubtful for Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Blues.

The 20-year-old slipped on the ice and collided with a teammate before cutting his head on the skate of another Oilers player.
“He’s doing much better. Swelling has gone down, he’s got a clear head, he had a good night’s sleep,” Renney said Wednesday in a video post on the Oilers’ website. “All that being said I would call it doubtful for (Thursday), which I don’t think would surprise anyone.

Hall, who was not wearing a helmet, had blood running down the side of his head while a trainer tried to staunch the flow.

That's why I love hockey!

Your Blues are doing pretty good right now!
They're only 1 point out of first, but they've also played 1 fewer game than the Red Wings. :)
The best thing they ever did is hire Hitchcock to coach.
Finally liking my Rangers. Won’t be comfortable till there is a * next to their name that says clinched.
The cheese steak was outstanding!
If you mean the Steelers and Eagles were one team during WW2 - Yes, it’s true.
Your owner has already penciled it in.
Yikes. On the Predators front, Ryan Suter, with his first chance at the All Star Game, may not play either due to an upper body mystery.
Classic!
