Fast has no points in eight games with the Rangers this season. He made the team at the start of the year, but was sent back and this is his first recall. He has recorded 17 goals and 17 assists (34 points) in 48 games with Hartford.
Deslauriers has no points and a minus-7 rating in 12 games with the Sabres. He will be replaced by Ville Leino tonight vs. the Devils.
It has been a crazy week for Deslauriers. First he was traded on Wednesday and now he will make his NHL debut tonight with the Sabres. He was a third-round pick in 2009 and has recorded 18 goals and 21 assists (39 points) in 60 games this season.
Deslauriers was acquired by the Sabres on Wednesday and could make his NHL debut tonight in Florida.

Hall was held out of practice on Monday and did not take part in this morning's optional skate, but he will play through his minor shoulder pain. He will skate on the top line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Sam Gagner.
Hall's absence at practice has his status for Tuesday's game in jeopardy. Check back after the Oilers morning skate tomorrow. He has 43 points (18G / 25A) in 41 games this season.
17 days after spraining his left knee. It’s well ahead of the four-week prognostication after the second-degree sprain when hit by Eric Gryba. Hall will have to wear a brace on his knee the rest of the season, but that’s a small price to pay to be back, for Thursday’s game on a line with Sam Gagner and Nail Yakupov.
Hall missed the last seven games with a knee injury that he suffered on October 19. The Oilers have been struggling - one win in last six games - so Hall will be a welcomed addition to the lineup. He had three goals and five assists with a minus-6 rating in nine games.
Jordan Staal has had a slow start to the season, he has just one goal and two assists through 13 games. Moving him onto a line with his brother Eric is an attempt to wake up the Hurricanes 26th ranked offence.
Hall will miss his sixth straight game with the knee injury that he suffered on October 19th vs. Ottawa. Hall has battled injuries throughout his career, but hopefully he can turn the corner to good health following his return from the latest injury. Monitor his status throughout the week.
This is a terrible break for the Oilers who's lineup has been depleted by injuries all month. Coming into the season Hall looked poised for another great season, but concerns about injury always loom near with the 21-year-old. Expect Nail Yakupov to take on an expanded role as he looks to fill in for Hall and get back into coach Dallas Eakins good graces.
Hall will not play tomorrow in Montreal. Monitor his status later today and tomorrow to see how severe this knee injury is.
The Oilers and Hall owners are hoping that an MRI in Edmonton reveals no structural damage to his injured knee. Leaving the team on the road trip isn't exactly a good sign, but we'll have to wait and see what the MRI reveals.
Good news as Hall did not return to the game in the second period. Stay tuned to see if Hall will be forced to miss any time.
The Hall centre experiment is over with the return of Nugent-Hopkins. Hall has shifted back to his natural position of LW with RNH and Eberle. Hall has one assist but is a minus-5 in two games so far.
Fast posted 18 goals and 17 assists in 47 games as a member of HV71 Jonkoping of the SEL this season.
Get him back in your lineup
Hall will not play today so get him out of your lineups if it isn't too late. He isn't expected to be out long-term, the Oilers just don't want to force him into action when he isn't at 100%.
The Wild and Oilers play late on Sunday so you may want to cautiously sit Hall unless word on his status comes out before the first games. At the very least, it looks as if Hall will only be day-to-day instead of going on IR.
