Jesper Fast Drops Bombshell Retirement Announcement – What’s Next for the NHL Veteran?
Fast signed with Carolina as a free agent on October 20, 2020, and established career highs in games played (82), goals (14), points (34) and plus/minus (+24) with the Hurricanes during the 2021-22 season. That season he was also selected as the winner of the Steve Chiasson Award, which honors the player who best exemplifies determination and dedication while proving to be an inspiration to his teammates through his performance and approach to the game. During the 2023 playoffs, Fast became just the fourth player in franchise history to record multiple overtime winners in a single postseason, scoring in overtime in Game 2 of the First Round against the Islanders and netting the series-clincher in Game 5 of the Second Round against New Jersey. He earned his 200th career NHL point with a goal against the Islanders on April 24, 2022, and appeared in his 700th career NHL game on April 9, 2024 in Boston. Fast missed the entire 2024-25 season with a neck injury suffered in Carolina’s regular-season finale against the Columbus Blue Jackets on April 16, 2024.
