Bruins' Taylor Hall: Snaps skid with power-play goal
Rotowire
Hall scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
Hall got the Bruins on the board in the second period, scoring a power-play marker to tie the game 1-1. The goal is Hall's first since Dec. 19, a span of 16 games. The 31-year-old winger still has some fantasy upside due to his role on the man advantage, but he's primarily skating in a bottom-six role on a deep Bruins team, limiting his overall value.
