Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Model of consistency
Hagel had a goal and two assists in a 6-4 win over the Jets on Thursday.
Hagel netted the winner in the last minute of the second period. He has been the model of consistency this season. Hagel has 16 points, including eight goals, in 12 games, and his 55 shots make him on a pace to fire 345 over the season. That's a total that would obliterate his career mark of 228. Hagel has put up points in nine of his 12 games, but just three of his points have come with the man advantage. The Bolts have the 26th best power play (16.3 percent) this season, so there's real opportunity for improvement for both the team and Hagel in that category.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Game-time call for Thursday
Hagel (undisclosed) is slated to be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Winnipeg, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Hagel has seven goals and 13 points in 11 appearances in 2026-27. If he can't play Thursday, then Dominic James will probably draw into the lineup. In addition, Ilya Mikheyev might serve in a top-six capacity if Hagel is unavailable.

Hagel scored a power-play goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Hagel opened the scoring at 4:11 of the first period. The 28-year-old winger is already off to a great start in 2026-27 with seven goals, five assists, three power-play points, 41 shots on net, eight blocked shots, six hits and a plus-2 rating over nine contests. He has topped a point-per-game pace in each of the last two campaigns and is looking like a good bet to repeat that feat this year.

Hagel has six goals, four assists and 33 shots in seven games.

Hagel was able to add some late insurance to this victory. He's come out of the gate firing, racking up a goal, two assists and 17 shots on net over three contests. Hagel is a lock for top-six minutes and usage in every situation. He's looking to top the 70-point mark for the fourth year in a row.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: First two helpers of season
Hagel set up two goals Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Capitals. He had a game-high six shots.
The points were Hagel's first of the season. The winger has fired 442 shots over the last two seasons and scored at better than an 86-point pace in the same span. Hagel hasn't seen much playing time with Nikita Kucherov at even strength yet this year, but they hop the boards together on the top power-play unit. Expect great things from Hagel again this season.

Hagel continues to be the hero for the Lightning with six goals and a helper over four games to open the playoffs.

In addition to his offense, Hagel has nine shots on net, five hits, 13 PIM and a plus-6 rating. He'll look to keep the offense rolling as the series shifts back to Tampa for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Stays hot in Game 3 loss
Hagel scored his fourth goal of the playoffs Friday during the Lightning's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 3 of their first-round series.
The 27-year-old winger gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead early in the second period, intercepting a pass in the neutral zone and then snapping a shot past Jakub Dobes through a partial screen. Hagel has found the back of the net in all three games of the series so far, piling up five points in total. He will probably need to stay locked in as the Bolts try to even things up in Game 4 on Sunday.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: In action Wednesday
Hagel (lower body) will suit up versus the Rangers on Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Hagel has appeared in just one of the last seven contests due to his lower-body problem. With his injury concerns seemingly behind him, Hagel should slot into a top-six role for the Lightning while seeing time on the man advantage. In his last 10 contests, the 27-year-old forward racked up six goals, nine assists and 34 shots while averaging 20:24 of ice time.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Status in question for Wednesday
Hagel (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's regular-season finale versus the Rangers, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Hagel did not participate in Tuesday's practice. If the Canadiens lose to the Flyers on Tuesday, the Lightning might be even more inclined to keep Hagel out of the lineup until the postseason, as a regulation loss for the Habs in their regular-season finale would lock Tampa Bay into the No. 2 spot in the Atlantic Division. Corey Perry will probably move out of a top-six spot once Hagel returns to the lineup.
