New Jersey Devils DFS SPIN
Timo Meier (undisclosed) is questionable for Game 2 on Friday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils’ official site. Meier sustained the injury in Game 7 of New Jersey’s first-round series against the Rangers when he absorbed a hit from Jacob Trouba. He remained in the contest, but missed Game 1 of the Devils’ second-round series versus Carolina on Wednesday. Meier, who has no points, 20 PIM and 23 hits through seven playoff appearances this year, is still day-to-day.
Carolina Hurricanes DFS SPIN
Frederik Andersen stopped 17 of 18 shots in Wednesday’s 5-1 Game 1 win over the Devils. Andersen was spotted a 3-0 lead and the Hurricanes cruised to a Game 1 win in the second round while limiting the opportunities against their goalie. The Dane’s likely to start Game 2 on Friday after allowing just one goal in each of his first two appearances this postseason.
