It may have been a rather uneventful pro debut for James Hagens this past Wednesday, but Hagens was not going to be quiet for two games in a row.
Instead, Hagens decided to make his second game in Providence count, and found the back of the net for the first goal of his pro career. The goal, which came on the man advantage, was a downright sweet one-time smash.
The goal was the lone point of the night for Hagens in what finished as a 6-4 victory for the P-Bruins over the Bridgeport Islanders.
It was not Hagens' only action of the night, however, as the first-week pro was also involved in a skirmish early in the contest. The P-Bruins got the message clearly, though, as they immediately got involved and refused to let anybody take any sort of liberties with Boston's seventh overall pick from the 2025 NHL Draft.
One thing that's become clear through the 19-year-old first week down in Providence is that Hagens likes to shoot the puck, and isn't afraid to blast it on goal.
The P-Bruins are playing the Springfield Thunderbirds on Sunday.
