This was Hall's second game in the Hurricanes' lineup. He slotted in on the second line and earned a helper on Andrei Svechnikov's opening tally just 56 seconds into the game. Moving from Chicago to Carolina should help Hall's offense by virtue of having a better supporting cast.

Taylor Hall is excited to turn the page with the Carolina Hurricanes after failing to find a fit with the Chicago Blackhawks over the past season and a half. The 33-year-old was traded to the Hurricanes last week with the Blackhawks also retaining 50 per cent of Mikko Rantanen's cap hit in exchange for a third-round draft pick that previously belonged to them.
