""We didn't decide yet, but there's a pretty good chance, I'd say, that James might play Game 1. It's just the last two games, he gave me a lot of excitement... He did a pretty good job with the puck, managing the puck, playing without the puck, never got in trouble as a line with [Fraser] Minten and [Marat Khusnutdinov], I feel like there's some chemistry.""
""I'm impressed. I mean, this year, we've got three unbelievable kids, and they're all playing on the same line right now. It's fun to watch... Against New Jersey, you can see how smart [Hagens] is on the ice.""
James Hagens, the Bruins' top prospect, is expected to play in the first playoff game against the Sabres. Head coach Marco Sturm expressed excitement about Hagens' performance in his initial NHL games, noting his puck management and chemistry with linemates Fraser Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov. Hagens, at just 19 years old, has already made an impact with his pace and forechecking. Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov praised the young line's intelligence and skill on the ice, highlighting their potential.
