Brandon Hagel was moved at the NHL trade deadline to the Tampa Bay Lighting, being another huge asset to the teams depth being planned for the playoffs.
In game 3 of Tampa vs Florida, Brandon Hagel through a dirty hit on Eetu Luostarinen and was assessed a 5 minute major penalty-which was then revised to a 2 minute due to Hagel not «extending his arms» throughout the cross check.
Florida then scored their first power play goal in 25 games, tying the game at 1 a side.
