Brandon Hagel will miss Game 3 of the Lightning's first-round playoff series after getting suspended for his late hit that knocked Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov out of Game 2.

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brandon Hagel has been suspended one game for his hit on the Florida Panthers’ Aleksander Barkov in Game 2 of their Stanley Cup playoffs series, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced Friday night.

There was a lot to correct from Tuesday’s 6-2 loss. Despite playing at home, the Lightning struggled to match the Panthers’ intensity and physicality. Their execution lacked in areas in which they flourished during the regular season.
