Brandon Hagel Out Thursday, May Miss Rest of Pre-Holiday Games
Brandon Hagel (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings. The 27-year-old winger sustained the injury during Monday's loss to the Panthers and, despite being day-to-day, head coach Jon Cooper suggested Hagel might not return until after the holiday break. Dominic James will replace him in the lineup Thursday. Hagel's remaining opportunities to play before the break are Saturday against the Hurricanes and Monday against the Blues.
