If history is anything to go by, Brandon Hagel was never meant to be anything in the NHL, a fringe third line player at most, just like every other sixth round pick in the NHL, but what he has achieved is leaps and bounds better than what he should've in the NHL.

The Patriots grinded out a 25-19 win, their third in a row, to improve to 4-2.
