Robert Hagg News

Hagg fills in for Alex Pietrangelo, who was a surprise scratch due to a lower-body injury. It's Hagg's first NHL action since he went pointless in five games with the Ducks last season.

Hagg is no stranger to the NHL, with 343 games of NHL experience, but has primarily played in the AHL the past two seasons. He has eight points (1G / 7A) in 14 games with the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL). Hagg's call-up may just be precautionary as Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore are both reportedly banged up.

Hagg will take the place of the injured Ilya Lyubushkin (upper-body). Hagg will skate with rookie Olen Zellweger on the Ducks' third pair.

Ilya Lyubushkin will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday, prompting the Ducks to make Hagg a healthy scratch. Hagg has only played two of the last four games for the Ducks, recording three shots and five hits.

Hagg will take the place of Radko Gudas, who was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury. Hagg is yet to register a point in two games with the Ducks this season.

The 28-year-old Hagg has spent the entirety of this season with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL, scoring four points (1G / 3A) in 22 games. He will make his season debut with the Ducks on Thursday skating on the third defensive pair with Ilya Lyubushkin.

Hagg has earned his first call up of the season to the Ducks from San Diego (AHL) after collecting a goal, four points, 16 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus in 22 games to start the season. The 28-year-old shutdown defensemen appeared in 38 games with the Red Wings in 2022-23, picking up seven points (2G/5A) and 26 PIMs.

Hagg signed a one-year, $775,000 deal with Anaheim in the offseason and has been recalled from San Deigo (AHL) for the first time this season. The 28-year-old is entering his eighth NHL season with his fifth team after putting up two goals, five assists, 26 PIMs, 40 SOG and a -5 plus/minus in 38 games with Detroit in 2022-23.

Hagg has been a healthy scratch for the Red Wings' previous two games but will draw back into the lineup Tuesday as they take on Washington. The 28-year-old has three assists, 21 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -7 plus/minus through 17 games played this season.

Hagg last suited up for the Red Wings on Dec. 8th but will draw back into Detroit's lineup Thursday vs. Calgary. The 28-year-old defensemen has two assists, 19 SOG, 10 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus though 13 games so far in his first season in Detroit.

Hagg last played on Dec. 8th due to an undisclosed injury but has been activated off the injured reserve Monday. The 27-year-old had two assists, 10 PIMs, 19 SOG and a -8 plus/minus through 13 games prior to the injury.

Hagg's injury reserve designation is retroactive to Dec. 8th when he last played vs. Florida. The 27-year-old has been in and out of Detroit's lineup all season, with two assists, 10 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus in 13 games with the Red Wings.
