Fast practiced with the team's third line on Tuesday, reports Andrew Gross of The Record. Scoreless through five playoff games (one point in eight career games), Mats Zuccarello's (head) injury seemingly gives the 23-year-old an opportunity for more minutes. While it's just practice and we could see a different combination for Game 1 against the Capitals, considering Fast's skill-set is similar to that of Zuccarello's, it's looking more likely the Swede will lineup with Kevin Hayes and Carl Hagelin on Thursday night. Fast logged 14 points in 58 games this past regular season.
