Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Starting to heat up
Fantilli scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers.
Fantilli seems to be warming up. He has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two games and four points, including three goals, and 12 shots in his last four. He and Kent Johnson are clicking right now, and this duo could be one of the NHL's most interesting going forward.

Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Records GWG in OT
Fantilli tallied a power-play goal, placed two shots on net and dished out three hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over Vegas.
Fantilli stepped up in a big spot Saturday, as he rifled the puck into the back of the net off a feed from Kent Johnson during the Blue Jackets' 4-on-3 power play in the extra period. With the game-winning twine finder, the 22-year-old Fantilli is up to three goals, four points, 27 shots on net, 18 hits and 10 blocked shots across nine outings this season. With two goals over his last three appearances, Fantilli appears to be locked into the No. 1 center role in Columbus, which should help keep his fantasy ceiling high. While he's a risky option in the interim with the Blue Jackets winning just two of their last six outings, Fantilli provides solid category coverage, making him a solid center option in various fantasy leagues.

Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Nets lone goal in loss
Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.
Fantilli hasn't gotten into a rhythm yet this season. He's scored twice and added an assist over seven games while adding 19 shots on net, 13 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating. The 22-year-old center was a late arrival to camp, missing over a week as an unsigned restricted free agent. That factor, coupled with a light schedule for the Blue Jackets early in the season, may be making it difficult for him to shake off the rust. He's in a top-line role, so his offense should come around eventually.

Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Scores in opener
Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
Fantilli missed most of the training camp and the preseason while awaiting a new contract. While that's not usually a good sign for production to come, the 21-year-old center showed why he was worth a $13.75 million cap hit with a goal in the opening period of the season. Fantilli is already reliably productive, but his new deal will come with the expectation that he can build on last year's 24-goal, 59-point effort over 82 games. While he's unlikely to pace the league in offense, he adds some extra grit that can round out his fantasy value nicely.

Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Ends contract dispute
Fantilli agreed to terms on a six-year, $82.5 million contract with Columbus on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Fantilli has reached the 50-point threshold in each of the previous two seasons, including setting new personal bests last year in assists (35), points (59) and power-play points (13). The 21-year-old center will have to get up to speed quickly, but he should be a near lock for a top-six role Opening Night against the Sabres on Oct. 1.

Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Remains unsigned
Fantilli is set to miss the start of training camp because he's unsigned, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic on Wednesday.
Fantilli is a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. He notched 24 goals and 59 points in 82 regular-season appearances with the Blue Jackets in 2025-26. He might re-sign soon, but if he misses a significant chunk of training camp, it could be tougher for him to get into the swing of things for the start of the regular season.

Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Likely to re-sign before camp
Fantilli is still a restricted free agent, but general manager Don Waddell is confident that a deal will be reached before training camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports Wednesday.
Fantilli is coming off his entry-level contract. The 21-year-old had 24 goals and 59 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26, which marked his second straight campaign with over 20 goals and 50 points. It seems fair to believe he's due for a big payday, especially after Leo Carlsson -- who signed a five-year, $90 million contract after supplying 29 goals and 67 points in 70 regular-season appearances with Anaheim last year -- redefined what promising young forwards can expect. Fantilli was taken with the No. 3 overall pick and has the potential to take a meaningful step forward offensively in 2026-27.

He'll need to be at the top of his game as the Blue Jackets make one last push for a playoff spot over the final two contests.
