He has also won two Stanley Cups in his career. This season, he scored two goals and six assists for eight points, adding 20 minutes in penalties. His possession numbers are 53.4 percent Corsi\u00a0and a relative Corsi of 6.4 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Those totals are worse compared to last season, where he scored 10 goals, 21 assists for 31 points. Over his eight-year NHL career, Hagelin has played for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/rangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Rangers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/penguins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/ducks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anaheim\u00a0Ducks<\/a>, and Kings. In that time, he has 90 goals and 140\u00a0assists for 230 career points in 526 career games. He was originally drafted in the sixth round, 168th overall of the 2007 NHL draft by the Rangers.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Hagelin now joins his third team this season after he was dealt from Pittsburgh in November in exchange for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/pearsta01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanner Pearson<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>The two-time Stanley Cup champion will probably hop on the bottom-six for Washington for the rest of the season. This will help them with depth not only now, but in the playoffs as well. If Hagelin is unable to play in tonight&#8217;s game, expect him to make his season debut on Saturday in Buffalo.\u00a0Hagelin is set to become UFA at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Image Credit:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1062871820\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 79.46127% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1062871820?et=Ad7t3dXATvJH8ZEmpQE9qQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=28R-DNnG5py0LxOks1IrR_8njXJd9sdPj6FXplqlN0k=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"472\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Kings have agreed to trade forward Carl Hagelin to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2019 third-round pick and a conditional sixth-round pick in 2020.
