Taylor Hall is set to play his 1,000th NHL game Thursday when the Carolina Hurricanes face the Seattle Kraken at Veikkaus Arena in Helsinki. According to the NHL, Hall would be the first player to reach that milestone outside North America.
The opening game of the NHL Global Series in Finland starts at noon ET on Nov. 12. NHL.com’s projected lineup puts Hall alongside Mark Jankowski and Seth Jarvis. Hall enters the game with 305 goals and 488 assists in 999 regular-season games.
Two upper-body injuries delayed the milestone. Hall missed nine games before returning in Carolina’s 5–3 win over the New York Islanders on Nov. 5.
Edmonton drafted Hall first overall in 2010. He won the Hart Trophy with New Jersey in 2017–18 and his first Stanley Cup with Carolina last season, when he recorded 19 points in 19 playoff games.
