Fast scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

This was Fast's first point in three games since the holiday break. The Swede has done a solid job as a depth scorer for a talented Hurricanes team. He's up to eight goals, 13 points, 40 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-5 rating in 32 contests. He'll likely continue to serve in a middle-six role, and his physical play boosts his profile in deeper fantasy formats.

Fast cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

EDGE Analysis

Fast recorded one goal and three assists through his last two performances prior to landing in the league's virus protocols. The 30-year-old has tallied four points in each of his three months played this season.

Fast was placed on the COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Fast has 12 points through 29 games this season, including four in his last two appearances. Assuming he is asymptomatic, the 30-year-old winger could possibly return in time for Monday's tilt against the Panthers.

Fast scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-1 win over Los Angeles on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Fast's goal was the game winner; it came on the power play when he redirected Jaccob Slavin's shot early in the first period. He had eight points in his first 27 games, and has put up half that in his last two games. Fast suddenly has a goal and three helpers in wins against Detroit and L.A. This pace won't continue, but he's really on a roll.

Fast picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the first period, as the two teams traded goals in a game that wasn't decided until the final frame. It was Fast's first multi-point performance of the season, and it hopefully marked the end of a slump that had seen the 30-year-old manage only one assist over his prior 15 games. With Carolina missing a number of key forwards due to COVID-19, the team could use more offense from the former Ranger.

Fast logged an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Fast set up Steven Lorentz for a goal at 11:14 of the second period. The 29-year-old Fast is enjoying a hot start to the season with five goals and two helpers in 12 contests. The Swede is more of a secondary scoring option in a deep Hurricanes forward group, but he's added 22 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-8 rating -- that's the kind of non-scoring production that can add solid depth to a fantasy bench.

Fast scored a goal on four shots and led the team with four hits in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Fast tied the game at 3-3 just 17 seconds into the third period, beating Marc-Andre Fleury five-hole to finish off an odd-man rush in transition. It was the fourth goal in nine games for the 29-year-old Fast, who scored six times in 46 contests all of last season. Based on his early pace, Fast's career high of 13 goals, set in 2017-18 with the Rangers, could be in jeopardy.

Fast scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Fast broke the ice just over six minutes into the game, leading a rush in transition and snapping the puck past Juuse Saros from the left faceoff dot. It was the second goal in as many games for Fast, who scored just six times in 46 contests in his debut campaign with Carolina in 2020-21.

Fast scored a goal on his only shot and dished out three hits Thursday in a 6-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Fast was the recipient of a bit of good fortune, getting credit for a go-ahead goal in the first period when Jaccob Slavin's sharp-angle shot deflected off Fast's body. The 29-year-old Fast had six goals and 19 points in 46 games for Carolina last year after spending his first seven NHL seasons with the Rangers.

Fast scored a goal on his only shot in Saturday' 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Fast slammed home a loose puck on top of the crease to give the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead 5:09 into the second period. It was Fast's first goal of the playoffs and snapped his personal 22-game scoring drought that dated back to early April. The 29-year-old has three points and just eight shots on goal through 10 playoff contests.
