Brandon Hagel emerges as the NHL’s hottest player, fueling the Tampa Bay Lightning’s surge to first place in the division despite a wave of early-season adversity. Can Hagel’s clutch performances and Nikita Kucherov’s resurgence keep the Lightning rolling through injuries and lineup shakeups? The team faces the Calgary Flames tonight with momentum and high expectations—who will step up next?

Nick Morgan and Greg Stephen break down Hagel’s remarkable stats turnaround, discuss Anthony Cirelli’s growing impact, and debate why the Lightning continue to defy the odds with key absences. Conversation covers Lightning’s winning keys, Flames’ recent struggles, goaltending’s crucial role, and FanDuel odds ahead of tonight’s matchup. The hosts wrap with a spirited Thanksgiving segment, expressing gratitude for John Cooper, Nikita Kucherov, NHL stars like Connor McDavid, and the next generation led by Macklin Celebrini. Will Tampa Bay extend their streak and stay atop the NHL?
