Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Tallies equalizer in win

Hagel scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Hagel's goal at 17:38 of the third period tied the game at 3-3, and Nikita Kucherov scored 87 seconds later to lift the Lightning to the win. Over three contests this season, Hagel has two goals, one assist and six shots on net while playing on the second line. He didn't see any power-play time Thursday and has mainly featured on the second unit, which puts a damper on his scoring potential. Still, the winger has topped 60 points in both of his full seasons with the Lightning, so he should remain a steady source of points and shots on net in 2024-25.
