EDGE Analysis

Fast helped out on a Jordan Staal goal in the second period. The assist was Fast's second in as many contests since he snapped an eight-game point drought. The 31-year-old remains more of a defensive winger, but he can chip in offense in small bursts at times. He's up to two goals, six helpers, 23 shots on net, 39 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 26 outings.

Fast notched an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Fast snapped an eight-game point drought with his assist on Brady Skjei's opening tally Saturday. During that span, Fast saw an increased role to make up for the absence of Teuvo Teravainen (upper body), who returned versus the Kings. Fast will likely remain on the third line going forward. He's at two goals, five assists, 20 shots in net, 39 hits and a plus-4 rating through 25 appearances.

Fast produced an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-0 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Fast set up Andrei Svechnikov's second-period tally. The assist extended Fast's point streak to three games (one goal, three assists). Prior to the streak, he had collected just two points in the first 13 contests of the season. In addition to his six points, he's picked up 13 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-4 rating, so he's generally not adding enough non-scoring production to be helpful in standard fantasy formats.

EDGE Analysis

Fast has struggled to begin the year, but his first goal was a timely one. It came 37 seconds after Sebastian Aho gave the Hurricanes a lead early in the third period. Fast enjoyed a career-year in 2021-22 with 14 goals and 34 points in 82 contests. He's picked up just two shots on goal, 10 hits, four blocked shots and a minus-1 rating during his sluggish start to this season.

Fast, who has been held pointless in five straight games, skated a season-low 10:09 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Fast scored a career-high 34 points last year, but hasn't been able to crack the scoresheet yet this season. The points will come, but as long as he's skating on the Canes' third line, they will be few and far between.

Fast notched two assists, five shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Fast helped out on the first and third goals of Jordan Staal's hat trick. It's been a solid start to April for Fast, who has a goal and three helpers in his last four games. The 30-year-old forward is up to 29 points, 87 shots, 99 hits and a plus-19 rating while maintaining a middle-six role throughout the season. He needs one point to reach the 30-point mark for the third time in his nine-year career.

Fast collected two assists in Saturday's 7-2 rout of the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Fast doesn't move the fantasy needle much in most formats, but he does have 25 points in 65 games this year (11G, 14A). With 17 games left to play, he's got a chance to surpass his previous career high of 33 points from the 2017-18 season when he was with the Rangers. For now, he continues to skate primarily on the Canes' third line with Nino Niederreiter and Jordan Staal, averaging almost 15 minutes of ice time per game.

Fast added an assist in a 2-0 win over the Avalanche on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Fast helped out on the go-ahead goal, put away by Ethan Bear with 14:20 remaining in the third period. The right winger has 22 points in 57 games this season, with seven points over his last 15 contests pushing that number up as spring draws nearer.

Fast notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Fast set up Tony DeAngelo's game-tying goal just eight seconds into the third period. The 30-year-old Fast has cooled off a bit since the start of January with two goals and two assists in his last 13 outings. The Swedish forward has 16 points, 54 shots on net, a plus-8 rating and 55 hits through 43 appearances. As more of a defensive forward, he shouldn't be expected to see more than middle-six usage.

Fast scored his ninth goal of the season in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Now with 14 points in 37 games, Fast is currently on track to eclipse the 30-point mark for the first time in his career. For those of you in deeper fantasy formats, give him a look if you're in need of scoring help in need of scoring help.
