New York Islanders right wing Hudson Fasching (illness) will not suit up on Monday evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets due to an illness. As a result, Adam Boqvist (upper body) will return to the starting lineup and likely play on the third offensive line alongside Casey Cizikas and Pierre Engvall. Over his previous three contests, Fasching tallied one point and added seven shots on goal with two hits and three blocked shots. However, before this stretch, Fasching tallied just one helper over his previous nine contests with just seven total shots on goal. Through 31 total games this season, Fasching has seen his offensive production decline significantly, as he has not scored a goal and only added two helpers. Last season, he tallied 14 points in 45 games. Boqvist is a high-risk play in DFS competitions this evening.
Hudson Fasching Out Day-To-Day With Lower-Body Injury
New York Islanders right wing Hudson Fasching has sustained a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day. The 29-year-old was injured in Tuesday's preseason action against the Rangers. Fasching was also hurt in training camp last year and ended up making only 45 appearances during the regular season. He finished with four goals and 14 points while averaging around 12 minutes per game. Fasching's injury opens the door for Liam Foudy to begin the campaign as the Islanders' 13th forward.
