Adam Fantilli Registers Two Assists In Preseason Debut
1 year agoColumbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli made quite an impression when he got his first taste of NHL action Sunday in a preseason contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 18-year-old, who was the third-overall pick in this year's draft, produced two assists -- one in a short-handed situation -- to help the team to a 4-3 overtime victory. He also had one block in the game with three shots on goal and a plus-one rating. Fantilli even ended up leading all Blue Jackets forwards with 21:36 of ice time, logging 5:34 of action with the man advantage and 1:37 on the penalty kill. Columbus hopes to produce a big bounce-back campaign in 2023-24, and Fantilli appears ready to play a significant part in it.
