After Michigan lost the 2011 NCAA final game, the Rangers signed Hagelin to a professional contract, whereby he joined the Rangers' then-American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Connecticut Whale, for the 2011 Calder Cup playoffs.{{cite web|title=U-M hockey captain Carl Hagelin signs pro deal with Rangers|url=http://www.detnews.com/article/20110411/SPORTS0203/104110377/1133/SPORTS0105/U-M-hockey-captain-Carl-Hagelin-signs-pro-deal-with-Rangers|author=Goricki, D.|work=The Detroit News|date=11 April 2011|access-date=11 April 2011}} He then began the subsequent 2011–12 season playing for the Whale.{{cite web|title=Whale Announce Opening Roster |url=http://www.ctwhale.com/default.asp?ctwhale=59&objId=1602 |website=ctwhale.com |access-date=10 October 2011}}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

Hagelin made his NHL debut against the Washington Capitals on 25 November 2011, registering an assist on a goal by Brian Boyle for his first NHL point.{{cite web|title=Rangers 6, Capitals 3 |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap?gid=2011112523 |publisher=Yahoo! |access-date=25 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140227022323/http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/new-york-rangers-washington-capitals-2011112523/ |archive-date=27 February 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }} Hagelin then scored his first career NHL goal the next day against goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky of the Philadelphia Flyers.{{cite web|title=Rangers blank Flyers 2–0 to move to 6–1–1 at home |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap?gid=2011112613 |publisher=Yahoo! |date=26 November 2011 |access-date=26 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140227022408/http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers-new-york-rangers-2011112613/ |archive-date=27 February 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}

After Adam Henrique of the New Jersey Devils pulled out of the 2012 NHL All-Star Rookie Showcase due to injury, Hagelin took his spot and was slated to take part in the Fastest Skater challenge during the Skills Competition, ultimately winning the competition after beating Ottawa Senators rookie Colin Greening with the fastest final round time ever recorded, 13.218, later beaten by Jonathan Drouin in 2015. Nevertheless, Hagelin later admitted Rangers teammate Marián Gáborík may be an even faster skater.{{cite news|title=Carl Hagelin, Rangers Rookie, wins fastest skater at NHL All-Star skills competition|url=http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/rangers/hagelin_outraces_all_stars_rGNcVmpDdi2RzyfTWZxztO|newspaper=New York Post|date=29 January 2012|access-date=30 January 2012}}

On 15 April 2012, Hagelin received a three-game suspension for elbowing Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson in the head during New York's loss in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.{{cite web|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=393285 |title=Rangers' Hagelin suspended three games, Carkner gets one |publisher=The Sports Network |date=15 April 2012 |access-date=15 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120418022748/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=393285 |archive-date=18 April 2012 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}

In the 2014–15 season, Hagelin matched his career-high of 17 goals and added 35 points in 82 games for the Presidents' Trophy-winning Rangers. On 24 April 2015, Hagelin scored the series-clinching goal in overtime of Game 5 of the 2015 Eastern Conference Quarterfinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

On 27 June 2015, Hagelin, slated to become a restricted free agent on 1 July, was traded along with two draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Emerson Etem and a second-round selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, which New York used to pick Ryan Gropp.{{cite news|url=https://nypost.com/2015/06/27/rangers-trade-cam-talbot-and-carl-hagelin/|title=Rangers trade Cam Talbot and Carl Hagelin|work=New York Post|date=27 June 2015|access-date=27 June 2015}} He was later signed to a four-year contract with the Ducks on 14 August 2015.{{cite news|url=http://ducks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=776961|title=Ducks sign Hagelin to four-year contract|publisher=Anaheim Ducks|date=14 August 2015|access-date=14 August 2015}}

In the 2015–16 season, Hagelin struggled with his new club, failing to reproduce his scoring presence from his tenure with the Rangers. With 12 points in 43 games, Hagelin was traded by the Ducks to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward David Perron and defenseman Adam Clendening on 16 January 2016.{{cite news|url=http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=798014|title=Penguins acquire forward Carl Hagelin from the Ducks|publisher=Pittsburgh Penguins|date=16 January 2016|access-date=16 January 2016}} Hagelin then went on to produce 27 points in 37 games, helping spark the Penguins' mid-season turnaround with his speed. He was also a key contributor in the playoffs, scoring 16 points en route to a 2016 Stanley Cup championship.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/pit-vs-sjs/2016/06/12/2015030416|title=Penguins win Stanley Cup, defeat Sharks in Game 6|publisher=National Hockey League | date = 12 June 2016 | access-date = 12 June 2016}} Hagelin again won the Cup in 2017, defeating the Nashville Predators in six games. Although that season was marred by injury and low point production, Hagelin did score the final goal of the playoffs, an empty netter in game six, which sealed the 2–0 victory.

On 14 November 2018, the Penguins traded Hagelin to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Tanner Pearson.{{cite web |title=TRADE: LA Kings Trade Tanner Pearson for Carl Hagelin |url=https://www.nhl.com/kings/news/trade-la-kings-trade-tanner-pearson-for-carl-hagelin/c-301927762 |website=NHL.com |access-date=14 November 2018 |date=14 November 2018}} Hagelin's time with the Kings was brief and marred by injury, limiting him to just 22 games with the team.

On 21 February 2019, the Kings traded Hagelin to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The Kings also retained 50% of Hagelin's salary as part of the deal.{{cite web |title=LA Kings Acquire Third Round Pick, Trade Carl Hagelin to Capitals |url=https://www.nhl.com/kings/news/la-kings-acquire-third-round-pick-trade-carl-hagelin-to-capitals/c-305055524 |website=NHL.com |access-date=21 February 2019 |date=21 February 2019}}
