New Jersey Devils alternate captain Taylor Hall is questionable to return this season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee earlier this week.
The 27-year-old wing has missed the past 29 games.
"If he could come back and play at some point but only safely and with no long-term impact, that'll be fantastic, but we have to make sure he's confident and our medical staff is comfortable," general manager Ray Shero told reporters earlier this week.

Hall will begin rehabilitation immediately. He initially suffered the injury during a Dec. 13 practice.
A timeline for his potential return could be determined by how he progresses over the upcoming few weeks.
