Fast carried the offensive load for his team Thursday, scoring two goals and adding an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Fast's assist on Mika Zibanejad's first-period tally helped tie the game 1-1, and he brought his team within one goal in each of the next two frames while never again catching up to the opposition. The hardworking Swede continues to set a good example for his young teammates in what's become a lost season for the Rangers, as he's now built up a seven-game point streak. This was by far his best showing during the streak, as the previous six games had all been one-point efforts.

Fast notched an assist and picked up three hits and two penalty minutes during Wednesday's win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Fast has now picked up a point in each of the last three contests and has seen a bump up in ice time since the Rangers decided to dish some of their top-six forwards and has responded with additional production. He could be worth a look in some deeper leagues, but Fast's absence from the power play is certainly a big gap on his fantasy resume.

Fast's only contributions to the box score in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Toronto were a hit and a minus-2 rating.

EDGE Analysis

The man known as Quickie hasn't had much of an impact recently, totaling just one point in his past 12 games. Fast also has a minus-7 rating in that stretch, and his season mark is now down to plus-2.

Fast (quadriceps) garnered an assist against the Sabres in Monday's Winter Classic.

EDGE Analysis

Fast missed just three games after suffering his quad injury. Despite the point, fantasy owners will likely still be concerned regarding the winger's seven-game goal drought which dates back to Dec. 9 versus the Devils. The Swede's minutes have been limited (14:18 per game), which will minimize his opportunities to find the back of the net.

Fast will be sidelined 2-3 weeks after suffering a quadriceps strain against the Devils on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Given the length of his expected recovery, Fast is likely just a paperwork submission away from being placed on injured reserve. Prior to getting hurt, the Swede was bogged down in a six-game goal drought, during which he managed a lone assist. The winger's absence will give Boo Nieves another opportunity to try to earn a regular role in the lineup.

Fast scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

The points stretch his goal and scoring streak to three games (three goals, one assist). Fast has 15 points in 24 games and is on pace to obliterate his previous career mark of 30 points. He may have value in deep formats while he's streaking.

Fast had a pair of markers in a 6-1 blowout of Carolina on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fast tripled his goal total on the season with his outburst, bringing him to three on the year. Even though he's on pace to beat his career high in points, a breakout hasn't happened this year for the young winger. Perhaps this will be a springboard for him, but it's too early to take a flier on him in most leagues.
