Fast recorded one shot in 18:06 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-1 win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Fast continues to work as a puck retriever on the top line, though he'll likely shift down the lineup when fellow Swede Mika Zibanejad returns from his upper-body injury. With eight points through 18 games, Fast has a chance to challenge his 2017-18 career high of 33 points

Fast (personal) had one shot on goal and was plus-1 with three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Fast missed Sunday's game due to personal reasons but was back in the lineup Tuesday on New York's third line. The 27-year-old has two goals and three assists in nine games and typically settles in between the 20- to 30-point range.

Fast (personal) is in the projected lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay, NHL.com's Dan Rosen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fast missed Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Bruins due to a personal matter, but he'll return to a bottom-six role against the Lightning, skating with Brendan Lemieux and Brett Howden on the Rangers' third line. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a solid start to the season, picking up five points through his first eight games.

Coach David Quinn expects Fast (personal) to play in Tuesday's game against the Lightning, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Fast will miss just one game. It's unsettled where Fast will return to the lineup, but he could slot into the top six, especially if Mike Zibanejad (upper body) is unable to go. Fast has been solid this year with five points over eight games.

Coach David Quinn said he's unsure if Fast (personal) would suit up for Tuesday's game against the Lightning, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

There haven't been any reports of why Fast is sitting out, and he could miss a second consecutive game. Fast has earned top-line minutes at times this year, and he's started off productive with five points through eight games. If he sits out, his absence would essentially ensure Kaapo Kakko and Pavel Buchnevich remain as the top-six right wingers.

Fast (personal) will not be in Sunday's lineup against the Bruins, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Fast won't suit up but he was a fairly late scratch before Sunday's tilt. His status for Tuesday's game against the Lightning is unknown for now.

Fast scored a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old doubled his goal and point totals on the year with the performance. Fast is off to a strong start to 2019-20, but he's never scored more than 13 goals and 33 points in a season and his usual bottom-six role won't allow him to maintain this pace for long.

Fast recorded an assist, a blocked shot and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Fast took an ill-timed holding penalty in the offensive zone with New York nursing a one-goal lead in the final minutes, but he was bailed out by a shorthanded goal from Brendan Smith into an empty net. The Swedish winger's work ethic and professionalism are revered in the locker room, but those attributes only translate to a limited scoring output, which takes Fast off the fantasy radar outside of deeper formats.

Fast (thumb) will make his preseason debut in Friday's matchup with New Jersey, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fast missed the final 10 games of the 2018-19 campaign due to his thumb issue, but still managed to hit the 20-point mark for the fourth straight season. If he can stay healthy, the winger should be able to get back to being a 30-plus point producer while featuring primarily as a bottom-six forward this year.

Fast received surgery on his thumb Monday and will face a six-week recovery, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fast broke his thumb and tore ligaments around the All-Star break, so this surgery was to aid his recovery since it wasn't healing properly. He finished the campaign with 20 points in 66 games. This surgery shouldn't affect Fast's status for next season.
