What happened: The goal arrived in a first period that produced three scores for Fantilli's side. It added another preseason touch for Fantilli after camp negotiations ended last week.

Why it matters: Offense from Fantilli will be scrutinized immediately because his new six-year, $82.5 million contract reset expectations for the 2026-27 season. Any sign of rhythm matters after he missed the first four days of training camp before reaching the deal.

What to watch: The next watch is how much preseason run Fantilli gets as opening night approaches and whether the scoring carries deeper into camp.
