Hagelin Strikes Lightning Twice
In four games last season, Carl Hagelin had just one assist against the Lightning. This year he already has three goals and two assists in the two games between the two clubs. In fact, Hagelin hasn’t registered a point in the other nine games he’s played this year.
Dan Girardi went from a team equalling worst -3 plus/minus to a +1 last night thanks to being on the ice for four of the Rangers’ five goals – and not being on the ice for the sole Lightning score. Girardi was one of three players who erased negative plus/minus last night, with Ryan McDonagh making in back from -3 to Even, and Hagelin back from -1 to Even.
