Oilers’ Taylor Hall knees Wild’s Cal Clutterbuck

Edmonton Oilers’ Taylor Hall is not known to be a dirty player, he’s only had one major penalty in his career prior to this.  But his hit on Thursday night on Minnesota Wild’s Cal Clutterbuck was extremely dirty.  With 17:27 left in the third period, and the Oilers losing 3-1, Hall threw his knee out and used his hip to drive through Clutterbuck, and Clutterbuck was immediately writhing in pain.  Hall was given a 5-minute major for kneeing and a game misconduct.

Clutterbuck ended up traveling with the team to Calgary but he’s definitely still hurt:

He was stopped at the Zamboni entrance and put onto a stretcher, then wheeled to the Oilers medical room. I saw him with ice and a bandage just above the left knee as he was being wheeled.

Taylor Hall faces a disciplinary hearing on Friday, and is almost guaranteed to be suspended.  The only question that remains is how long will he be suspended.

UPDATE:  It appears Taylor Hall has been suspended for two games for this hit.
