Fantilli scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli's goal stretched the Blue Jackets' lead to 3-1 in the second period. The 20-year-old center has played on the second line so far, and with injuries mounting once again for Columbus, he'll likely be leaned on heavily in the coming weeks. He has two goals, 12 shots on net, four hits and five blocked shots through four contests. It wouldn't take much more for Fantilli to enjoy a breakout campaign after producing 27 points over 49 regular-season contests as a rookie last year.

Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli celebrated his 20th birthday with a second-period goal, his first point in two games this season. He's started the season as the Blue Jackets' second-line center, a role that should allow him to build on the 27-point rookie season he produced in 49 games in 2023-24. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should already have Fantilli, but he could play his way into the redraft picture in 2024-25.

Fantilli produced two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli set up Yegor Chinakhov's power-play goal in the second period and Mathieu Olivier's empty-netter in the third. With four goals, two helpers and 10 shots on net over four preseason contests, Fantilli has made a great impression. He had 12 goals, 15 assists, 115 shots and 63 hits over 49 regular-season outings before a lacerated calf ended his season early in 2023-24, but the 19-year-old looks poised for a bigger breakout in Year 2.

Fantilli will suit up for Team Canada in the IIHF World Championship opener Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli missed the final 33 games of the regular season after suffering a lacerated calf on Jan. 28. Now healthy, the 19-year-old center will look to contribute to Team Canada's run in the IIHF World Championships before preparing for the 2024-25 season. Fantilli finished his rookie campaign with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games.

Fantilli (laceration) will miss the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli suffered a lacerated calf Jan. 28 against Seattle. He will finish his rookie season with 12 goals and 25 points in 49 appearances. The third overall pick from the 2023 Draft has a lot of upside and might see a significant jump in offensive production in his second NHL season in 2024-25.

Fantilli (laceration) may not be ready to return before the end of the 2023-24 season, according to Craig Merz of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli was initially projected to be out eight weeks because of a calf laceration he sustained against Seattle on Jan. 28, but his recovery has been slower than expected. The 19-year-old rookie has registered 12 goals, 27 points, 115 shots on net and 63 hits in 49 appearances this campaign.

Fantilli (calf laceration) will miss eight weeks after leaving Sunday's contest against Seattle, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli was putting together a strong rookie season, recording 12 goals and 15 assists through 49 games. The third overall pick from the 2023 Draft will have to wait until late March for a hopeful return, but it's safe to assume he won't be rushed into getting back in action this season as the Blue Jackets will likely not make the playoffs. With Fantilli unavailable for an extended period of time, look for Jack Roslovic to get extended minutes.

Fantilli (leg) won't play Tuesday versus the Blues after being cut by a skate blade in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Fantiili will be evaluated further after the team returns home from St. Louis. The 19-year-old rookie has compiled 12 goals, 27 points, 115 shots on net and 46 hits over 49 games this season. With Fantilli unavailable, Jack Roslovic could play in Tuesday's contest.

Fantilli (lower body) will not return to Sunday's game against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli appeared to catch a skate against the back of his leg but the exact details of his injury aren't known. The 19-year-old logged 7:30 of ice time before leaving the game. He has 12 goals and 27 points through 49 games. Fantilli's status for Tuesday's game in St. Louis is questionable.

Fantilli scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Fantilli helped put the game away, setting up a Dmitri Voronkov goal in the third period before depositing an empty-netter. After racking up 13 points in 14 outings in December, Fantilli has been limited to four points in nine games in January. He's still seeing top-six usage, and ebbs and flows on offense are to be expected with even the most talented of rookies. The 19-year-old has 27 points, 113 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-19 rating through 47 appearances.
