The 2016-2017 season was Jesper Fast’s most impressive season as a Ranger. Coming off an already strong ‘15-’16 campaign, Fast stepped up and proved himself to be a vital penalty killer.
Fast, affectionately known as “Quickie” by Alain Vigneault, proved all season long why he can be a trusted forward for the Rangers. While he may not have been the flashiest, Fast did his job all season long.
The Regular Season
Fast played in 68 games for the Rangers, scoring six goals and adding 15 assists. Fast has never been a high scoring threat, and these numbers reflect his role in the bottom six forward group.
