Lightning stay hot going into All-Star break with win against Devils Nick Paul and Brandon Hagel put Tampa Bay on top with second-period goals, and the Bolts held off a late New Jersey rally.
Two-point effort Tuesday Hagel produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Flyers.
Impact He helped set up the first goal of Nikita Kucherov's hat trick late in the first period before potting an empty-netter of his own in the third. Hagel is on a roll in January, and over the last nine games he's collected four goals and 10 points. The 25-year-old remains on pace to top the career-high 64 points he racked up in 2022-23.

Two helpers in Buffalo Hagel picked up two assists in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.
Impact He helped set up a Nick Paul tally in the first period and a Calvin de Haan empty-netter in the third. Hagel has found the scoresheet in six of the last seven games, producing three goals and eight points over that stretch as the 25-year-old winger remains on pace for his second straight 60-point campaign.

Two points in OT win Hagel scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.
Impact The 25-year-old winger notched the tying tally with less than five minutes left in the third period, beating two defenders on a rush from the blue line and muscling the puck past Cam Talbot. Hagel then set up Nick Perbix for the OT winner with another display of grit, as he won a puck battle along the boards to keep the puck in the Kings' zone before feeding it to Perbix. Hagel has a modest three-game point streak going, and over the last 15 contests he's picked up a solid two goals and 11 points.

Goals hard to get this season Hagel is mired in a 15-game goal drought.
Impact Hagel remains on a career pace with 29 points, including 10 goals, in 36 games, but his offensive pace has slowed of late. He has just two assists in his last six games, and his current goal drought has put matching his 30 goals from last season out of reach. Hagel's shooting rate of 11.6 is below his career mark of 15. 3, so there may be some reversion to the mean coming in 2024. Even if that doesn't come, top-six wingers on 60-plus point paces are valuable in almost all formats.

Puts up helper Hagel notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
Impact Hagel helped out on Brayden Point's tally early in the first period. With four helpers over the last three games, Hagel's playmaking has come back, but he's gone nine contests without a goal. The 25-year-old winger has 27 points, 71 shots on net, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 30 appearances overall, playing in a top-six role.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Two assists in overtime win Hagel notched two assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Impact Hagel helped out on both of Nikita Kucherov's tallies in the contest -- one to put the Lightning ahead 2-0 in the first period and the other to win the game in overtime. Hagel endured a recent four-game point drought, but he's since picked up three assists over his last two contests to get back on track. The winger is enjoying top-line usage this season, racking up 10 goals, 16 assists, 68 shots on net, 24 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 29 appearances.
DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gathers helper in loss Hagel notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Coyotes.
Impact Hagel has been solid lately with three goals and five assists over his last seven games. The winger is up to 23 points, 57 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 11 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 23 contests. He should continue to put up strong scoring numbers as long as he remains in a top-line role, though that could change in the near future since the Lightning have been held under three goals in three of their last four games.

Registers three points in road win Hagel scored a goal with two assists in Friday's 8-2 road win against the Hurricanes.
Impact One of his helpers came on the power play. Hagel was good for a plus-2 rating with a shot on goal and a blocked shot in 17:26 of ice time across 26 shifts. He has managed two goals and six points with a plus-4 rating during his three-game point streak. He'll look to push his point streak to four games on Monday night on the road against the Avalanche.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Plays hero in OT win Hagel scored the overtime winner and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 victory over the Bruins.
Impact The 25-year-old winger helped set up Steven Stamkos for the tying goal with just five seconds left in the third period, but Hagel saved his best work for OT -- he came over the boards and split the defense for a clear break on Jeremy Swayman thanks to a slick pass from Victor Hedman, then went five-hole on the Boston goalie. Hagel is enjoying the best start of his NHL career, and through 19 games he's already piled up nine goals and 18 points, with little of that production (only three helpers) coming on the power play.

Provides two points Monday Hagel supplied a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay's 6-5 overtime loss to Toronto on Monday.
Impact Hagel snapped a two-game scoring drought -- his longest of the campaign. He's up to seven goals and 12 points in 12 outings this year. Hagel's serving in a top-six capacity, but he entered Monday's action averaging just 1:14 of ice time with the man advantage. Unless finds a way onto the top power-play unit, it will be difficult for the 25-year-old to maintain his offensive pace.
NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Great start continues Monday Hagel had a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay's 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle on Monday.
Impact Hagel found the back of the net at 14:32 of the third period to tie the contest at 3-3. That brings him up to six goals and 10 points in nine appearances this year. Hagel broke out last season with career highs of 30 goals and 64 points in 81 outings for Tampa Bay. Although the 25-year-old's campaign likely won't go quite as smoothly as his start, by the end of 2023-24, it wouldn't be surprising to see him once again surpass the 60-point milestone.

Scores twice to force OT Hagel tallied a pair of goals in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.
Impact Hagel was responsible for all of Tampa Bay's offense Tuesday, getting the Lightning on the board with a goal midway through the second period before burying a loose puck to tie the game with just seven seconds remaining in the third. The 25-year-old Hagel has gotten off to a blazing start this season, tallying four goals and five points through his first four games while filling in for the injured Steven Stamkos (lower body) on Tampa's top line alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov.

Two points in loss Hagel earned a goal and an assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Hagel exploded onto the scene in his first full season with the Bolts, adding 30 goals and 34 assists through 81 games as part of the 2022-23 campaign. This helped Hagel net a whopping eight-year, $52 million contract in August, and he seems primed to set the bar even higher in his age-25 season. Hagel has two goals and an assist through his first two games and will look to keep rolling Sunday against host Ottawa.
