Playing career
Fischer played his juniors leagues with Chicago Mission Bantam AAA, Chicago Mission Midget AAA, and Chicago Mission U16, registering 44 goals and 95 points in a total of 77 games in the 3 seasons. He was selected in the 11th Round of the 2013 OHL Priority Selection, however he was not signed.

After that, he played in the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, and played with the USA U17 hockey team. The following season he competed with the U18 and the Junior Team again and was selected 32nd overall by Arizona in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. On March 5, 2015, Fischer scored the fastest goal in USHL history, scoring six seconds into a game against the Omaha Lancers.

On August 20, 2015, Fischer was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Arizona Coyotes. On August 24 Fischer came to terms in continuing his junior career with the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL, who previously drafted him in 2013.

After completing his rookie campaign with the Spitfires in 2015–16, Fischer continued his year by signing an amateur try-out contract with the Coyotes' AHL affiliate, the Springfield Falcons on April 7, 2016. He made his professional debut with the Falcons, finishing with 3 points in 6 games. On January 21, 2017, he was called up to the Arizona Coyotes and played in his NHL debut against the Tampa Bay Lightning. With just over two minutes left in the second period, Fischer scored his first NHL goal from a feed from teammates Jamie McGinn and Alexander Burmistrov in a 5–3 victory.

Fischer then spent the entirety of the 2017–18 season with the Coyotes in the NHL, finishing his rookie campaign with 33 points in 79 games. Following his rookie season, Fischer was named to the Coyotes opening night roster for the 2018–19 season.
