ON LOAN: Hagel Makes Debut, Soderlund Posts Three-Point Night

With three games apiece over the last 14 days, Brandon Hagel and Tim Soderlund led the way for the Blackhawks on loan across Europe -- Hagel making his season debut in Switzerland and Soderlund continuing his hot start to the year in Sweden.
Take a look at how all the players on loan fared over the last two weeks of action:

BRANDON HAGEL

3 GP, 1G, 0A - HC Thurgau (Swiss League)

Hagel's season in the Swiss second division got underway recently, appearing in three games and scoring his first goal for HC Thurgau in a 3-2 win over the GCK Lions on Nov. 1. Thurgau sits atop the Swiss League standings and has points in four of their last five contests.

PHILIPP KURASHEV

1 GP, 0G, 0A - HC Lugano (Swiss National League)

Lugano dropped their lone league game over the last two weeks, 2-1, to Lausanne in overtime. The team also lost a Swiss Cup meeting against the ZSC Lions in overtime over the weekend, 3-2. Kurashev played in both contests on the second line but did not factor into any scoring.

TIM SODERLUND

3 GP, 2G, 1A - Almtuna IS (HockeyAllsvenskan)

Soderlund posted a three-point night last Wednesday, scoring twice and adding a power play assist in Almtuna's 6-3 win over Karlskoga. The forward is earning top-line minutes and is now tied for third in team scoring with seven points (4G, 3A) in 12 games this season.

PIUS SUTER

0 GP, 0G, 0A - ZSC Lions (Swiss National League)

After leading the way for GCK Lions in the Swiss second division to start the season, Suter was re-assigned to the parent club ZSC Lions in the top Swiss league last week. The forward recorded a league-best and career-high 53 points (30G, 23A) in 50 contests with ZSC last season en route to being named the league's Most Valuable Player.

MICHAL TEPLY

0 GP, 0 PTS - BK Mlada Boleslav (Czech Extraliga)

MladaBoleslav is expected to return to action this week for the first time since Sept. 27 as a result of COVID-19 concerns.
Matej Chalupa (HK Hradec Kralove) is also on loan but has yet to appear in a game this season
