Fast collected a pair of assists in Monday's 6-3 victory over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
One of the few skaters who earned head coach Alain Vigneault's praise after Sunday's loss to Ottawa, the 24-year-old rookie didn't disappoint alongside Derick Brassard (five points) and J.T. Miller (one goal). Fast now has three points in as many games heading into the All-Star break. In 47 games, Fast is plus-5 with seven goals and 17 points.

Fast found the netting for the sixth time of the season in a 5-3 loss to the Predators on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Not too shabby for the recently turned 24-year-old Swedish sophomore. Most importantly, Fast is beginning to string together the points, having logged four (two goals, two assists) of his season-total 12 points in last six tilts.

Fast logged an assist in Sunday's loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
More eye-opening was the season-high 17-plus minutes of ice time the young forward logged alongside of second-liners Derek Stepan and Chris Kreider. With this latest four-game spurt (goal and two assists), Fast brings his season total to 11 points in 33 games. As long as he continues to register points, there's no reason to believe head coach Alain Vigneault won't continue to reward him with top-six minutes. Keep a close eye on the 24-year-old Swedish sophomore.

Fast scored an empty-net goal to seal the win Tuesday against Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Fast notched goal number five, making that nine points for the season. Playing on the Rangers' second line, the young winger appears to be adjusting well to the NHL game and needs one more goal to tie his career high from last year.

Fast netted his fourth goal of the season in a 4-1 win over Ottawa on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old is showing signs of life after going pointless in seven straight in November. Sunday's empty-netter marks three points in the last six tilts for the bottom-six Swede. Fast has four goals and eight points through 26 games played.

Fast scored the game's first goal Tuesday night, leading to a 3-0 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Fast now has goals in back-to-back contests as he's made good on his only two shot attempts over that span. The 23-year-old has three goals and two helpers with a 14:20 TOI average after 13 games, which tells us that he is doing well with only a modest amount of ice time in 2015-16.

Fast scored his second of the season in a 4-1 win over the Coyotes on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old Fast has two goals and four points through his first 12 games played. While It's nice to see the Swedish forward get on the board, the opportunities for fantasy impact come few and far between as he continues to log bottom-six minutes.

Jast scored a goal and assisted on another in Monday's 4-0 shutout win over the visiting Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old Swede looked good in this one, firing three shots on goal for the second game in a row and skating to a plus-2 rating. Fast has just 16 points in 74 career NHL games, but with the right assignment on a line with any one of New York's many offensive weapons, he could be a decent contributor. He has some potential, as evidenced by his 34 points in 48 games with AHL Hartford in 2013-14.

Fast could dress in Thursday's tilt against Montreal reports Andrew Gross of The Record.
EDGE Analysis
Fast served as a healthy scratch in the team's last two tilts, including most recently for Tanner Glass in Tuesday's loss to Winnipeg. While the 23-year-old lacks the experience of the team's other fourth line forwards (Jarret Stoll, Dominic Moore), the young Swede's contributions to last season's playoff-run are clearly not forgotten. Either way, Fast's fantasy value is heavily impacted by his inability to get beyond fourth line duties.

Fast will start the season on the team's fourth unit reports Andrew Gross of The Record.
EDGE Analysis
Although the team had several openings after saying goodbye to Carl Hagelin and Martin St. Louis this offseason, it appears Fast will return to the team's fourth line. It's not all bad news as head coach Alain Vigneault will likely tinker all season and the youngster could learn a thing or two playing alongside Dominic Moore and newcomer Jarret Stoll. The 23-year-old Fast has six goals and 14 points through 69 career NHL games.
