Line Change
Hall will make his Bruins debut on Tuesday.
Hall was acquired from the Sabres on Sunday night and is expected to make his Bruins debut on Tuesday. Hall skated on the second line with David Krejci and Craig Smith and PP2 in Tuesday's morning skate.
The Bruins have acquired Taylor Hall and Curtis Lazar from the Sabres for Anders Bjork and a second-round pick.
Hall bet on himself with a one-year deal in Buffalo and it could not have gone worse. Hall registered just two goals with 17 assists (19 points) in 37 games. That doesn't paint the entire picture though, Hall has shot just 2.3 percent with a career-low 6.7 on-ice SH%, so there's certainly reason to expect him to post bigger numbers in Boston. Hall will almost certainly play on the second line with David Krejci.
The Bruins have acquired Mike Reilly from the Senators for a 2022 third-round draft pick.
Reilly is a solid bottom-4 defenseman that can provide some offensive punch, particularly on the power-play. With Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk dealing with injuries, the Bruins were looking for some veteran insurance. The 27-year-old blueliner is still looking for his first goal of the season but has collected 19 assists in 40 games.
