Hall (upper body) isn't expected to play against Nashville on Tuesday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Hall skated with his teammates ahead of Tuesday's matchup, but he will likely miss his ninth straight game. He was close to returning from an upper-body injury that sidelined him for five contests, but he tweaked a separate upper-body issue that has kept him out since. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour is optimistic that Hall could play against the Islanders on Thursday.
