Hall was injured Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks and returned home with two games remaining on the road trip in Edmonton and Calgary. The forward has 16 goals and 20 assists in 58 games this season.
Boston now has around $6 million in cap space. It will be interesting to see if Hall is out until playoffs or not and if the Bruins will pull a similar move to the Lightning in previous seasons.
The team also recalled Jakub Lauko from Providence of the AHL.
