Hudson Fasching has signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets for the 2025-26 season. The 30-year-old forward joins Columbus after three seasons with the New York Islanders. Praised for his size and work ethic, Fasching is known for being a versatile, responsible winger who provides veteran depth. Over his NHL career, he has tallied 40 points in 175 games and excelled in the AHL. His exit from the Islanders creates opportunities for younger players in their system.
Fasching's ability to chip in offensively while playing a responsible two-way game earned him regular NHL minutes after years of bouncing between the AHL and NHL.
With the Islanders, Fasching's most memorable season came in 2022-23, when he posted career highs with 10 goals and 19 points in 49 games.
For Islanders fans, Fasching represented the kind of depth player every team needs: reliable, physical, and able to step into bigger minutes when injuries struck.
His departure opens up a depth spot on the wing for younger forwards in the Isles system, while Fasching now looks for a fresh start in Columbus.
