Adam Fantilli - NHL News & Rumors

Extends point streak with goal Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Fantilli has yet to be kept off the scoresheet in January, racking up four goals and four assists during a seven-game point streak. His tally Thursday opened the scoring at 12:11 of the first period. Fantilli has 11 goals, 23 points, 89 shots on net, 63 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 45 appearances. He's on a similar pace to his rookie year, but he's trending upward while seeing top-line time during Sean Monahan's (wrist) absence.

Point streak at six games Fantilli registered an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.

Impact Fantilli has three goals and four assists, as well as a plus-6 rating, during his active six-game point streak. The 20-year-old is in a great position to keep his offense rolling while filling in for Sean Monahan (wrist) on the top line. Fantilli is up to 22 points, 87 shots on net, 63 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating across 44 appearances.

Keeps point streak alive Fantilli scored a goal and took six shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Fantilli found the back of the net in the latter stages of the first period and not only gave the Blue Jackets an early lead. He also extended his point streak to five games, a stretch in which he's racked up six points (three goals, three assists). The 20-year-old playmaker looks on pace to improve the numbers he delivered as a rookie in 2023-24, as he's up to 21 points (10 goals, 11 assists) in 43 games this season. He notched 27 points on 49 appearances as a rookie.

Two points in comeback win Fantilli scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Impact With the Blue Jackets in a 3-1 hole midway through the third period, Fantilli sparked a comeback by setting up Dmitri Voronkov for one goal before scoring the tying tally himself with 2:36 remaining in regulation. Fantilli has a modest three-game point streak going, and if the upper-body injury Sean Monahan picked up Tuesday proves to be serious, the third overall pick in the 2023 Draft could find himself thrust into a top-six role and a prominent spot on the power play.

Gets goal in win Fantilli scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Blues.

Impact It's his eighth of the season (17 points) in 40 games. Fantilli, who is just 20, isn't wowing with huge offensive numbers, but he's definitely growing his two-way game. He's the Jackets' third-line center and has been playing between James van Riemsdyk and Zach Aston-Reese. Fantilli may not take an offensive jump until his fourth season and that's OK for the Jackets -- they want his game to be complete. Fantasy managers, especially those in keeper and dynasty formats, will need to weigh the how long they can wait on Fantilli's offensive explosion.

Scores in Friday's win Fantilli scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Friday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Fantilli's goal was the first of four in the second period as the Blue Jackets took control of the game. The 20-year-old has had a rough December with three points, 26 shots on net, 23 hits and a minus-8 rating over 14 appearances. He remains in a middle-six role and on the second power-play unit, but Fantilli's 15 points over 36 contests won't win over many fantasy managers in redraft formats.

Pots goal in loss Fantilli scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact The goal ended his droughts -- he'd gone nine games without scoring and six contests without a point prior to Tuesday. Fantilli had previously gone no more than three games without a point. The 20-year-old has been firmly in the middle six this season, racking up six goals, eight helpers, 63 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-9 rating over 32 appearances. Fantilli has plenty of long-term promise, but that level of scoring for a center has relatively low fantasy value in redraft formats, though he has the talent to pick up the pace.

Offers helper in loss Fantilli notched an assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Fantilli has picked up four points over his last five contests. The 20-year-old forward is seeing top-six minutes as the Blue Jackets' second-line center, and he hasn't often looked out of place this year. He's yet to go more than two consecutive games without a point, racking up five goals, eight helpers, 50 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-3 rating over 25 appearances. He's on roughly the same scoring pace that saw him rack up 27 points in 49 contests as a rookie in 2023-24.

Snaps 13-game goal drought Fantilli scored twice Friday in a 5-2 win over the Flames.

Impact His first goal ended a 13-game goal drought; it opened the scoring in the first period. His second came on a two-on-one in the third after he came out of the penalty box to join the rush. Fantilli hasn't taken the big offensive step forward that was predicted in the preseason. But that will come. Fantilli's two-way play has improved, and he has turned around an abysmal minus-21 in 49 games from last season to a minus-2 in 22 games this year. His future is bright in keeper and dynasty formats, but temper expectations in redraft leagues. Fantilli is just 20 years old.

Sets up goal in loss Fantilli had an assist, a blocked shot and four hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Cole Sillinger's upper-body injury prompted a newly configured second line, which combined to produce Columbus' second tally. Fantilli hit Yegor Chinakhov in stride, leading to Columbus' second goal. Kent Johnson also assisted. It was the third helper in the last six games for the 20-year-old Fantilli, who has gone 13 games without a goal.

Picks up power-play helper Fantilli notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Impact Fantilli has two helpers over his last five contests amid a slowdown in the Blue Jackets' offense -- they've scored nine goals as a team in that span. This assist was the 20-year-old's first power-play point of the campaign. Fantilli is up to seven points, 33 shots on net, 10 hits, 10 blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Pockets assist Saturday Fantilli logged an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Fantilli has four points over his last five games as he continues to look solid in a middle-six role. He was back in the power-play mix Saturday since James van Riemsdyk was scratched, though Fantilli's role with the man advantage has been slipping lately. The 20-year-old center is still a decent option for fantasy managers in deep formats. He has six points, 29 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 11 contests.

Earns two points in win Fantilli scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Monday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact Fantilli also saw just 10:37 of ice time over 18 shifts. There wasn't a reported injury after the game, so this was likely an in-game rest after a job well done. Monday marked his first multi-point effort of the season, and he's up to three goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across eight appearances.

Slides helper in overtime loss Fantilli logged an assist, six shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Predators.

Impact Fantilli picked up his first assist of the year on a Kirill Marchenko tally in the second period. The 20-year-old Fantilli hasn't popped on offense yet, earning three points through seven contests. He's added 21 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating while playing on the second line and second power-play unit. Fantasy managers in redraft formats may want to consider other options, but his long-term upside in dynasty remains high.

Scores in Thursday's win Fantilli scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Fantilli's goal stretched the Blue Jackets' lead to 3-1 in the second period. The 20-year-old center has played on the second line so far, and with injuries mounting once again for Columbus, he'll likely be leaned on heavily in the coming weeks. He has two goals, 12 shots on net, four hits and five blocked shots through four contests. It wouldn't take much more for Fantilli to enjoy a breakout campaign after producing 27 points over 49 regular-season contests as a rookie last year.

Scores on birthday Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Avalanche.

Impact Fantilli celebrated his 20th birthday with a second-period goal, his first point in two games this season. He's started the season as the Blue Jackets' second-line center, a role that should allow him to build on the 27-point rookie season he produced in 49 games in 2023-24. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should already have Fantilli, but he could play his way into the redraft picture in 2024-25.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two helpers in Tuesday's win Fantilli produced two assists and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blues.

Impact Fantilli set up Yegor Chinakhov's power-play goal in the second period and Mathieu Olivier's empty-netter in the third. With four goals, two helpers and 10 shots on net over four preseason contests, Fantilli has made a great impression. He had 12 goals, 15 assists, 115 shots and 63 hits over 49 regular-season outings before a lacerated calf ended his season early in 2023-24, but the 19-year-old looks poised for a bigger breakout in Year 2.
