Lightning Activate Brandon Hagel from IR; Expected to Play Sunday

Brandon Hagel (Tampa Bay Lightning) has been activated off injured reserve and is likely to play in Sunday's contest against the Canadiens. The 27-year-old forward missed the last four games due to an upper body injury, but the holiday break helped minimize his time out. Hagel has had a strong season, registering 18 goals and 13 assists in 32 games. His return will restore the Lightning's full complement of forwards for the game.
