the Washington Capitals, and he scored twice in Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference Finals, the only points he earned in that series. It marked Fast's first career multi-goal game, making him the first Rangers rookie to score multiple goals in a game since Brandon Dubinsky in 2008, and the first with a multi-goal playoff game on the road since Mike Ridley in 1986. After the conclusion of the 2019–20 season, having played in his seventh season with the Rangers, Fast left the club as a free agent.
