• Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Collects power-play assist

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Hagel notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. Hagel has gone without a goal in four straight games, but he has four assists in that span. His helper Friday was his first power-play point of the year -- he should get more looks there now that he's on the first unit again after spending time on the second unit last week. The winger is up to six goals, seven assists, 27 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 11 contests, offering strong production in fantasy formats that focus on scoring.

• Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Two helpers in Wednesday's win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Hagel logged two assists and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. Hagel helped out on goals by linemates Anthony Cirelli and Conor Geekie. The 26-year-old Hagel is as steady as ever, picking up eight points over his last five games. For the season, the winger has six goals, six assists, 23 shots on net and a plus-8 rating while seeing time on the second line and first power-play unit. He's shooting 26.1 percent, so he's likely to regress in goals, but he's a strong enough scorer to have an impact in fantasy throughout the campaign.

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Hagel scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Wild. It wasn't a repeat effort of his hat trick from Tuesday, but it was Hagel's first shorthanded tally since 2022-23. The 26-year-old winger continues to see time in all situations, including in a second-line role at even strength. He's been excellent to begin 2024-25, earning six goals, three assists, 18 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over seven appearances.

• Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Four-point game includes hat trick

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Hagel scored a natural hat trick in the second period of Tuesday's 8-5 victory over New Jersey. He also had an assist in the same frame. It was Hagel's third career NHL hat trick, two of which have come against the Devils, and he did all of his damage Tuesday in a 6:26 span. He put the Bolts up 3-2 at the 9:27 mark, and then scored off the rush at 13:01. He stuffed in a rebound at 15:53. Hagel has eight points, including five goals, in his last five games, and he's put up 13 shots and a plus-7 rating in that span. He, Anthony Cirelli and Conor Geekie have demonstrated remarkable chemistry so far this season, and a 60-point season is within reach. Maybe more.
