Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall said he was "surprised" to be a healthy scratch Saturday, saying coach Luke Richardson had given him no indication it was even a possibility.

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.

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.
