Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel left Game 4 of the series against the Florida Panthers Monday after a high hit from defenseman Aaron Ekblad that wasn't penalized in the second period, and he was still being evaluated well into the third period.

Brandon Hagel’s postseason came to an abrupt end in Game 4 of the Lightning’s first-round series against the Florida Panthers, and now the extent of what happened is clear.

After the forward was suspended for Saturday’s win vs. the Panthers, teammates expect him to “be flying” in his return to the lineup.
