STREAKY: With his game-opening tally today, Lightning F Brandon Hagel becomes the 7th NHL player to record a five-game goal streak this season.

Not bad.

And guess who set that one up? Darren Raddysh primary assist gives him his 11th point in his last eight games, Kucherov's secondary assist pushes his point streak to nine games.
