Fasching was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the fourth round, 118th overall, of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. On March 5, 2014, Fasching's rights were traded, along with Nicolas Deslauriers and a draft pick, to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Brayden McNabb, Jonathan Parker and two draft picks. [6]

On March 21, 2016, Fasching was signed to an entry-level pro contract by the Sabres. [7] He made his NHL debut with the team on March 26, scoring his first NHL goal at 8:37 of the first period in a game against the Winnipeg Jets.
