Colorado Avalanche DFS SPIN
Nathan MacKinnon scored the overtime winner and registered two assists in Colorado’s 5-4 win over the Islanders on Tuesday.
It was just another game for MacKinnon. In fact, this was his 20th multi-point contest of the campaign compared to just seven games in which he’s been held off the scoresheet. MacKinnon has 20 goals and 61 points in 38 contests this season as he battles Nikita Kucherov (63 points) for the scoring title. Remarkable is truly the norm for the 28-year-old MacKinnon.
Dallas Stars DFS SPIN
Jason Robertson scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to the Canadiens. Robertson’s tally late in the third period got the Stars within a goal, but they didn’t tie the game. He extended his point streak to seven games (three goals, seven assists). The winger had produced just one point streak of five games or longer prior to this run. He’s up to 12 tallies, 37 points, 103 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 36 appearances this season.
