Headed for suspension Hagel will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Friday for interference on Alexsander Barkov in Game 2.

Impact Hagel should be expected to miss at least one game, given that he is having a hearing with the league. As such, fantasy players should expect the winger to be sidelined for Game 3 versus Florida on Saturday at a minimum. With Hagel expected to miss out, Conor Geekie could be elevated to a top-six role as well as take the open spot on the No. 1 power-play unit.
