Fast scored his first goal of the playoffs in Thursday's Game 1, and it was a big one, as he potted the game-tying tally with 4:39 remaining in an eventual 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
It's certainly not Fast's fault that the Rangers ended up taking this loss on a goal in the final seconds, as his clutch tally ended a 55-minute stretch of futility against Washington netminder Braden Holtby. The Swede is going to be seeing more ice time moving forward while Mats Zuccarello (head) is on the shelf, so this is a positive sign for him even in a losing effort.
