Brandon Hagel Listed as Game-Time Decision Against Winnipeg

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel is slated to be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Winnipeg due to an undisclosed injury. Hagel has recorded seven goals and 13 points in 11 appearances during the 2026-27 season. If he is unavailable to suit up on Thursday night, Dominic James will likely draw into the lineup, while Ilya Mikheyev could serve in a top-six capacity for the Lightning.
