New Jersey Devils DFS SPIN
Vitek Vanecek turned aside 22 of 25 shots in a 5-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday. Vanecek earned his third straight win despite allowing 10 goals over that span. He has a 3.21 GAA and an .893 save percentage in seven contests this year, but that’s still been good enough for a 5-2-0 record. Thanks to the Devils’ top-tier offense — they’re averaging 4.22 goals per game — Vanecek is likely to continue to rack up the wins even if he continues his subpar play.
St. Louis Blues DFS SPIN
Jordan Binnington allowed four goals on 28 shots in Wednesday’s 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. Binnington had two wins over his first three outings of the season, but he’s now lost three in a row while allowing 12 goals on 92 shots. The 30-year-old goalie was very streaky in 2022-23, and fantasy managers probably don’t want to see that roller-coaster ride continue this year. Look for Binnington and Joel Hofer to split the Blues’ upcoming back-to-back with home games Friday versus the Devils and Saturday versus the Canadiens.
