It's unclear whether he would have seen power play time because Columbus wasn't called for a penalty.
Hagens picked up the assist on Boston's late second-period goal. On the forecheck, he pinned Denton Mateychuk to the board in the right wing corner and pushed the puck to Sean Kuraly .
Kuraly fed Henri Jokiharju , who scored a goal that put Boston ahead 2-1 at the time.
