The Chicago Blackhawks took on the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The game was noteworthy as it marked the first time Connor Bedard played in his hometown as an NHL player. However, it also caught headlines as the Blackhawks surprisingly benched Taylor Hall.

CHICAGO -- Taylor Hall said he and Chicago Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson are on the same page after the 33-year-old forward was caught off guard being a healthy scratch in a 4-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.

In the Blackhawks' latest game, Taylor Hall was a healthy scratch. A number of different players have been healthy scratched this season, but there are some players that just don't normally come out of the lineup.
