New Jersey Devils DFS SPIN
Vitek Vanecek allowed three goals on 29 shots in Wednesday’s 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
Vanecek improved to 13-6-1 with the win, as New Jersey erased a trio of one-goal deficits to repeatedly bail Vanecek out. This result continued a common theme, as Vanecek has frequently won despite posting unimpressive numbers — his 3.26 GAA and .885 save percentage this season are both far worse than his career 2.68 and .906 marks.
Ottawa Senators DFS SPIN
Vladimir Tarasenko had two assists Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over Toronto. He was flying, and he threw around his weight and absolutely flattened Maple Leafs defender Simon Benoit with a check that sent the rookie sprawling. Tarasenko has been a mild disappointment in Ottawa — there are games he completely disappears. But he still has 22 points, including 16 assists, in 28 games, including three assists in his last three games. Tarasenko is on a one-year, $5 million deal in Ottawa, so expect him to be on the move if the Senators don’t go on a run. Tarasenko’s fantasy value would improve in a more-competitive city, especially if it’s out of the intense light of a Canadian market.
