He posted 31 goals, 54 points, 191 shots on net, 113 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 82 appearances.

With the Blue Jackets needing to win out to have any hope of catching the Canadiens for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, Fantilli came through with a big performance as he found the back of the net late in the first period and early in the second. The third overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft has two multi-goal efforts in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's collected six goals and eight points. The 20-year-old Fantilli has reached 50 points in a season for the first time in his career.

EDGE Analysis

He notched his 25th goal of the season on a third-period breakaway that pushed the score to 5-1. The 20-year-old Fantilli has taken a big step forward this season, adding 21 points to his rookie mark of 27 points. He's also rung up 178 shots this season, and his 48 points have come almost entirely at even strength. Fantilli has just four PPP this season. The sky is really the limit for this young pivot.

Fantilli's second season has been a slight improvement over his rookie season. He is putting up 0.64 points-per-game this season, up from 0.55 last year.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli snapped a five-game point drought with his second-period goal to get the Blue Jackets on the board. The 20-year-old was moved down to the second line to accommodate the return of Sean Monahan on the top line. Fantilli found some success with a larger role for most of Monahan's absence, but this was a line change that was likely overdue. Fantilli is now at 22 goals, 43 points, 160 shots on net, 100 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 70 appearances this season.

The 20-year-old center continues to fill in admirably on the top line in place of Sean Monahan (wrist). Fantilli is up to 37 points across 60 outings, and he's earned 22 of those points across 22 appearances since the start of January as he takes a big step forward in his second season.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli has cracked the scoresheet in each of the Blue Jackets' last three games, tallying two goals and two helpers in that span, and he's been a steady contributor for Columbus all season long.
