James Hagens Exits Game Against Penguins Due To Lower Back Injury

Boston Bruins forward James Hagens suffered a lower back injury in the third period of Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and did not return. Hagens was checked into the boards from behind by Samuel Girard, leaving him worse for wear after the interaction. The Bruins have a few days off before hosting the Florida Panthers on Sunday, which may provide crucial recovery time for Hagens as the team monitors their forward depth.
