Top Adam Fantilli News

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: 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.

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Snaps 13-game goal drought

    Fantilli scored twice Friday in a 5-2 win over the Flames.

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: 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.

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Picks up power-play helper

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

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Pockets assist Saturday

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

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: 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.

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: 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.

    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 offensively 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 leagues remains high.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Scores in Thursday's win

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

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Scores on birthday

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

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: 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.

    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.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Suiting up for Team Canada

    Fantilli (calf) will suit up in Team Canada's pre-tournament opener of the 2024 IIHF World Championship on Sunday.

    Fantilli missed the final 33 games of the regular season after suffering a lacerated calf on Jan. 28. Now healthy, the 19-year-old center will look to contribute to Team Canada's run in the IIHF World Championship before preparing for the 2024-25 season. Fantilli finished his rookie campaign with 12 goals and 27 points in 49 games.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Done for season

    Fantilli (laceration) will miss the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

    Fantilli suffered a lacerated calf Jan. 28 against Seattle. He will finish his rookie season with 12 goals and 25 points in 49 appearances. The third overall pick from the 2023 Draft has a lot of upside and might see a significant jump in offensive production in his second NHL season in 2024-25.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Might be done for season

    Fantilli (laceration) may not be ready to return before the end of the 2023-24 season, according to Craig Merz of NHL.com.

    Fantilli was initially projected to be out eight weeks because of a calf laceration he sustained against Seattle on Jan. 28, but his recovery has been slower than expected. The 19-year-old rookie has registered 12 goals, 27 points, 115 shots on net and 63 hits in 49 appearances this campaign.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Expected to miss eight weeks

    Fantilli (calf laceration) will miss eight weeks after leaving Sunday's contest against Seattle, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

    Fantilli was putting together a strong rookie season, recording 12 goals and 15 assists through 49 games. The third overall pick from the 2023 Draft will have to wait until late March for a hopeful return, but it's safe to assume he won't be rushed into getting back in action this season as the Blue Jackets will likely not make the playoffs. With Fantilli unavailable for an extended period of time, look for Jack Roslovic to get extended minutes.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Won't play Tuesday

    Fantilli (leg) won't play Tuesday versus the Blues after being cut by a skate blade in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.

    Fantiili will be evaluated further after the team returns home from St. Louis. The 19-year-old rookie has compiled 12 goals, 27 points, 115 shots on net and 46 hits over 49 games this season. With Fantilli unavailable, Jack Roslovic could play in Tuesday's contest.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Exits Sunday's contest

    Fantilli (lower body) will not return to Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Fantilli appeared to catch a skate against the back of his leg but the exact details of his injury aren't known. The 19-year-old logged 7:30 of ice time before leaving the game. He has 12 goals and 27 points through 49 games. Fantilli's status for Tuesday's game in St. Louis is questionable.

  • Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: One of each in win

    Fantilli scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

    Fantilli helped put the game away, setting up a Dmitri Voronkov goal in the third period before depositing an empty-netter. After racking up 13 points in 14 outings in December, Fantilli has been limited to four points in nine games in January. He's still seeing top-six usage, and ebbs and flows on offense are to be expected with even the most talented of rookies. The 19-year-old has 27 points, 113 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-19 rating through 47 appearances.
