Washington Capitals DFS SPIN
T.J. Oshie (lower body) didn’t practice Saturday and will remain sidelined on Washington’s upcoming road trip, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com. Oshie has been on IR since suffering an injury Oct. 29, and it appears he’ll be out at least another week. The 35-year-old winger logged two goals and three assists through nine games to start the year.
Tampa Bay Lightning DFS SPIN
Rudolfs Balcers was claimed off waivers from Florida on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Balcers was the odd-man out with the Panthers after Florida needed salary cap space to activate defenseman Aaron Ekblad (lower body). He should be a bottom-six forward with the Lightning. Balcers had two goals and four points in 14 games with the Panthers.
