Hagens playoff debut has started with three scoreless games and has led to Lukas Reichel expected to replace him in Boston's lineup for Game 4 vs. Buffalo. The 19-year-old Hagens joined the Bruins after a strong season at Boston College (NCAA) and has one assist in five appearances with the Bruins across regular season and the playoffs.
Hagens has been practicing with Boston after signing his entry-level contract earlier in the week but will remain out on Saturday vs. Tampa Bay and will not make his NHL debut. The 19-year-old has had success at both the NCAA level (47 Pts in 34 GP) and AHL (4 Pts in 6 GP) this season.
Hagens was drafted seventh-overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old forward recently completed his second season of collegiate hockey with Boston College, where he scored 47 points (23G / 24A) in 34 games.
Hagens was the Bruins' first-round pick (No.7 overall) in 2025 and their No.1 ranked prospect. Hagens just wrapped up his second season at Boston College, where he had 23 goals and 24 assists (47 points) in 34 games and was named a Hobey Baker finalist. Hagens will spend the rest of the 2025-26 season in the AHL and will likely sign his entry-level contract in the summer and make a push for the Bruins' roster next fall.
