Boston Bruins DFS SPIN
Linus Ullmark is expected to start in Saturday’s road game against Minnesota. Ullmark has a 10-4-2 record, 2.86 GAA and .912 save percentage in 16 contests this season. Those are okay numbers, but he’s been dreadful recently, posting a 3.89 GAA and an .889 save percentage over his last seven outings. To make matters worse, the Wild scored four goals on 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime win against Ullmark in his last start Tuesday, so the 30-year-old goaltender has already had problems when facing Minnesota.
Buffalo Sabres DFS SPIN
Rasmus Dahlin scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Dahlin became the first defenseman this season to reach 10 goals. He has posted a double-digit goal total in three straight seasons, which ties him for the second-longest streak in Sabres history. Dahlin has a long way to go to equal the best — the great Phil Housley had eight from 1982-90. This was the 56th goal of Dahlin’s career, which moved him into fourth among defenders in Sabres history. The first overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft should remain a Norris Trophy contender for years to come.
