Brandon Hagel knows the unwritten rules of hockey. He knew that he’d be in the Panthers’ crosshairs when he returned from a one-game suspension for the hit he put on Florida captain Aleksander Barkov.

Brandon Hagel’s postseason came to an abrupt end in Game 4 of the Lightning’s first-round series against the Florida Panthers, and now the extent of what happened is clear.

No penalty was called when Ekblad hit Hagel in the chin with his right elbow and forearm with just under nine minutes left in the second period on Monday night.
