3 months agoTampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel came away with his second career hat trick when the team beat Montreal 5-3 on Saturday. He scored early in the second period and had two goals in the third, wrapping up his first three-goal game in a Lightning jersey with an empty-net goal. Hagel was picked up as a third-liner last year, but he's become a key offensive contributor for the team, having tallied 27 goals and 32 assists in 70 games. The 24-year-old also leads the team with a plus-23 rating. Hagel will enter Sunday's matchup versus New Jersey with a run of nine points in five games.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
