I love Jesper Fast. He’s versatile, can be plugged in anywhere, does everything you want in his own zone, and plays a valuable game on both ends of the ice.
As much as I love Jesper Fast, you know something is wrong when he’s the team’s leading scorer through five games.
The Rangers are 1-4-0 through their first five games, scoring just 12 goals (9 at 5-on-5) so far this season. That number, which already looks bad, looks worse when you realize the five-goal output in the loss to Carolina makes up 41 percent of that total.
