Drew Fortescue - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Picks up helper in NHL debut Fortescue notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 6-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact This was Fortescue's first appearance since he signed his entry-level deal Saturday. The 20-year-old defenseman put up 14 points in 35 games for Boston College prior to turning pro. Fortescue will likely be limited to bottom-four minutes as long as he stays in the lineup for the remainder of this campaign, and he may need some time in the AHL in 2026-27 to round out his development.

Inks entry-level deal Fortescue signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Fortescue had four goals, 14 points and 47 PIM in 35 outings with Boston College in 2025-26. The 20-year-old was taken by the Rangers with the No. 90 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Fortescue is expected to report directly to the Rangers rather than go to the minors, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Two helpers in BC win Fortescue registered two assists in Boston College's 4-0 win over UMass-Amherst on Saturday.

Impact Fortescue is up to three goals and five assists over 11 outings this season. He had just 11 points, all helpers, in 36 outings during 2024-25, so it appears he has taken a step forward on offense. The 20-year-old defenseman is a Rangers prospect, selected 90th overall in 2023. In the long run, the lack of offense he's shown in the NCAA will likely make it difficult for him to be impactful in fantasy should he ever make it to the NHL.
