Fast missed Sunday’s game after spraining his knee on Saturday in Nashville. With Fast out, J.T Miller should remain in the lineup for the foreseeable future. Fast will likely miss at least the next six games.
A knee sprain pretty much guarantees that Fast will not be in the lineup tomorrow vs. Dallas. Coach Vigneault said that he will know more tomorrow, but a sprained knee should sideline him for at least one week.
Fast, 22, has one goal and eight assists in 11 games with Hartford this season. He will be in the Rangers fourth line with Dominic Moore and Tanner Glass. He has yet to record a point in three games with the Rangers.
Fast was a healthy scratch in each of the Rangers last two games. He had zero points with three shots and minus-1 rating in the first three games of the year.
Fast has no points in eight games with the Rangers this season. He made the team at the start of the year, but was sent back and this is his first recall. He has recorded 17 goals and 17 assists (34 points) in 48 games with Hartford.
Fast posted 18 goals and 17 assists in 47 games as a member of HV71 Jonkoping of the SEL this season.
